Creation of the first Russian commercial bank

edit

In August 1988 the first private commercial bank of Russia – "Viking" - was created in St. Petersburg as an experiment. The bank was granted license No. 2 (the first license was obtained by a bank in Kazakhstan which went out of business in the 1990s). From this point on the era of formation of a banking system began in the New Russia[4] Alexey Ustaev hired statesmen as Anatoly Kurkov[5] (former head of a central board of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Leningrad), Valery Zaborov (the former assistant prosecutor in the Leningrad region), Nikolay Sergeyenko (the former deputy chief of city tax inspection), Leonid Perekrestov (major general of the Municipal Department of Internal Affairs of St. Petersburg), Victor Halansky[6] (the founder of the modern banking system in St. Petersburg, from 1990 to 1996 the chief of the Main Department of the Central Bank of RSFSR in Leningrad and St. Petersburg) and other outstanding people. From the moment of creation of Viking Bank, Alexey Ustaev defined the main principles of activity as an active work within the real sector of the economy, complete refusal of risky operations and an individual approach to each client.[7]

Work with the industrial enterprises

edit

The main activity of Alexey Ustaev is the work within the sphere of investment financing of enterprises in the real sector of the economy. Inside Viking Bank, Alexey Ustaev developed its own unique system of service for corporate clients – the industrial enterprises – for the purpose of protection of the business against external risks. The two-tiered model includes a professional team of experts for financial profiles working in Viking Bank and also highly specialized companies, which were especially created and attracted on the terms of outsourcing the rendering of legal, economic, tax, consulting, IT, business maintenance services, both ensuring economic safety and insurance of the enterprises, and also a bank which conducts monitoring of the borrower, not only at the stage of issuing of loans, but also during the course of implementation of the business plan in changing market conditions, for which it was organized. This system allowed Viking Bank to introduce a new approach with the organization and regulation of the process of lending to companies. The bank refused to play a passive role as the provider of borrowed funds and became instead a full partner interested in the improvement of the financial position and expansion of the business of its clients. The bank carries out active work for enterprises in light industry, hotel business, trade and services sectors, development sectors and other branches of the economy.[8]
