Pivdenny Bank joined the discussion on the future of corporate banking at the Forbes Banker conference

Andrii Bukin, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Pivdenny Bank, moderated the panel “Client Profile: New Borrowers,” where, together with business representatives, they discussed how companies choose banks today and what truly influences their decision to cooperate.

The discussion focused on various types of corporate clients: from active borrowers to companies operating without credit or those actively utilizing financing for foreign economic activity. Each segment has its own expectations and, accordingly, different criteria for selecting a bank.

"Our experience shows that the corporate market is conditionally divided into three categories of clients — and each of them evaluates a bank in its own way. For some, the key factors are lending terms; for others, it is the quality of foreign exchange operations and financial monitoring; and for a third group, it is the convenience of services and daily banking. However, for everyone without exception, the main criteria are reputation and the bank’s readiness to be a business partner rather than just an institution with a specific set of products,” Andrii Bukin noted.

We thank the panel participants for the candid conversation and practical insights. We continue to work toward being a reliable partner for business, regardless of its model or needs.
