PJSC Sberbank (Russian: Сбербанк, initially a contraction of Russian: сберегательный банк, romanized: sberegatelnyy bank, lit. 'savings bank') is a Russian majority state-owned banking and financial services company headquartered in Moscow. As the Russian successor entity of the State Labor Savings Banks System of the USSR, it was called Sberbank of Russia until 2015,[9] and in 2020 further shortened its brand to Sber.[10] Following the termination of its operations in the European Union in the immediate aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, its international footprint is primarily in the Commonwealth of Independent States.

By 2022, the bank accounted for about a third of all bank assets in Russia.[11] The bank's rise since 1990s is in part due to its close connections to the Russian government.[11] Sberbank has 87 branches and 1 representative office in 79 regions of Russia and 2 foreign countries.[12] As of 2014 it was the largest bank in Russia and Eastern Europe, and the third largest in Europe, ranked 60th in the world and first in central and Eastern Europe in The Banker's Top 1000 World Banks ranking.[13] In the world ranking of public companies Forbes "Global 2000" Sberbank takes 51st place.[14]

1991–2013

[edit]

In 1991, the operations of the State Labor Savings Banks System of the USSR in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic were reorganised into the Joint-Stock Commercial Savings Bank of the Russian Federation (Sberbank of Russia).

In post-Soviet Russia, Sberbank is the largest universal bank despite growing competition from private and other state-owned commercial banks. The bank has gradually expanded its international presence.[15]

Since 2007, Sberbank is led by former economy minister Herman Gref who is a very close friend of Vladimir Putin.[16]

2011 Volksbank International acquisition

In 2011, Sberbank acquired Volksbank International AG from its shareholders Österreichische Volksbanken AG, BPCE, DZ Bank and WGZ Bank. The deal included all Volksbank assets – banks in Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Ukraine, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, except for Volksbank Romania. The agreed price was €585 to €645 million, depending on Volksbank business performance in 2011. Volksbank's total assets excluding Romania was €9.4 billion in June 2011.[citation needed] On 16 December 2013, Volksbank (Ukraine), which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Sberbank, changed its name to VS Bank [uk] (Ukrainian: ВіЕс Банк).[17][18]

2012 Denizbank acquisition

In June 2012 Sberbank bought the Turkish DenizBank for Turkish lira 6,469 billion (about EUR 2,821 billion or US$3.504 billion) from the lender Dexia, which in 2011 was "partly nationalized by the governments of France, Belgium and Luxembourg".[19] The deal included DenizBank subsidiaries in Turkey, Austria and Russia.[20]

2014–2017 sanctions

[edit]

After the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula by Russia in 2014, the Obama administration imposed targeted sanctions on 12 September 2014, through the US Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) by adding Sberbank and other entities to the Sectoral Sanctions Identifications (SSI) List.[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] This was done in concert with 31 July 2014 addition of Sberbank to the European Union sanctions list.[30][31] Sanctions consist of access restriction to the EU and US capital markets.[32][33][34] After announcement of the sanctions, and by the end of July, Sberbank's market value had dropped the most market value among the world's major lenders plus investors moved $22 billion from Sberbank's market capitalization.[35] Still, during the following year Sberbank's share price grew back 89%.[36] Sberbank together with other Russian banks filed claims with the highest EU court to lift the punitive economic measures.[citation needed]

On 27 August 2014, Switzerland imposed sanctions on Sberbank and other Russian financial institutions.[37]

On 22 December 2015, the United States imposed additional sanctions on Sberbank and its subsidiaries.[38][39][23][24][25][29]

On 17 October 2016, Ukraine imposed sanctions against Sberbank Russia, Sberbank Leasing, and their payment systems Kolibri (Hummingbird), formerly Blitz (Ukrainian: «Колибри» стара назва – «Блиц»).[40][41][42]

On 15 March 2017, the president of Ukraine imposed sanctions on Sberbank (and other Russian state-owned banks operating in Ukraine: VTB Bank, BM Bank, Prominvestbank, and VS Bank (Ukrainian: ВіЕс Банк)) as part of its continued sanctions on Russia for its annexation of Crimea and involvement in the war in Donbas.[43][44][45]

2016–2021

[edit]
Credit cards – both issuer and payment

As of May 2016, Sberbank dominated the card payments business in Russia with over 61% of the market. Sberbank's competitors in the card business are VTB Bank, Alfa-Bank, Tinkoff Bank, and Gazprombank which combined only had a 29% of the card business market.[46]

2017 sale of VS Bank to Tihipko

In December 2017, due to sanctions, Sberbank sold its Ukrainian subsidiary, VS Bank (Ukrainian: ВіЕс Банк)[43] to Ukrainian businessman Serhiy Tihipko.[47]

2022–2023 sanctions

[edit]

On 24 February 2022, as a result of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, US president Joe Biden announced sanctions against additional Russian individuals and companies, including new restrictions on Sberbank's operations,[48] after which Sberbank's stock lost more than half of its value.[49]

On 25 February 2022 the banking licence of Sberbank in Ukraine was revoked.[50]

On 28 February 2022, Sberbank Europe was facing bankruptcy as a consequence of the sanctions. Deutsche Börse suspended trading of Sberbank stock.[51][52][53] Two days later, Sberbank Europe declared that it was leaving the European market.[54]

Visa and Mastercard suspended their activities in Russia at the beginning of March 2022.[55] Cards of these systems issued by Russian banks no longer worked outside of Russia, and all Visa cards issued outside of Russia no longer work within Russia.[55]

In April 2022, Apple and Google removed Sberbank mobile apps from their stores. The Android application can be downloaded from the bank's website, but iPhone users did not have this option.[56] In August, the SBOL application appeared in the App Store. It does not formally belong to Sber, but it fully reproduces the functionality of the removed application.[57] A week later, this app was also removed from App Store.[58] Deputy Chairman of the Board of Sberbank Stanislav Kuznetsov, speaking at the Eastern Economic Forum, spoke about new applications allegedly distributed on behalf of Sberbank. According to him, all new applications on the AppStore hosted by Sberbank have nothing in common with it. Kuznetsov noted that these are programs for fraudsters to remotely access a smartphone to steal passwords and bank card numbers.[59]

In July 2022 the EU imposed sanctions on Sberbank in relation to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[60] Sberbank was also sanctioned by New Zealand in 2022.[61]

During 2022 and 2023 many overseas subsidiaries lost their licences, closed, were sold, or went into receivership.

2024

[edit]

In July 2024, Russian FIT LLC, the developer of the PayQR contactless payment service, filed a lawsuit against Sberbank in the Moscow Arbitration Court. The plaintiff accuses Sberbank of violating exclusive rights to the PayQR design elements. Sberbank uses its own SberPay QR service. The amount of the claim is 2.9 billion rubles (about $333 million). The hearing is scheduled for November 2024.[62]

In July 2024, Sberbank began paying “record” dividends for 2023. One share is worth 33.3 rubles, and the total amount will be 752 billion rubles ($8.5 billion). Half of it will go to the state, and the other half will be distributed among 1.8 million private shareholders.[63]

On August 16, Sberbank disclosed for the first time in three years the amount spent on remuneration of top management and key executives. In total, they were paid 28 billion rubles (over $300 million) for 2023. This amount is distributed among approximately 650 employees.[64]

Rebranding 2020 and "ecosystem"

[edit]

In 2020, Sberbank undertook a rebranding. In addition to changing the logo and legalizing the reduction "Sber", the company announced the transformation of the bank into an "ecosystem". Sberbank decided to become "more than a bank" and began to develop various services, mainly digital: online cinema (Okko), music (SberSound), food delivery (SberMarket), cloud storage (SberDisk), taxi (Citymobil).[65]

Initially, the "ecosystem" was built in partnership with the large Internet holding Mail.ru Group, for which a joint venture O2O (online-to-offline) Holding was created with a capital of about 100 billion rubles. However, in the spring of 2021, the parties decided to end cooperation due to disagreements over management methods and corporate culture.[66]

Another component of the "ecosystem" is pharmacies. Having launched an online service, Sber Eapteka (e-drugstore), Sber soon decided to expand the business and open pharmacies in its own branches. It is assumed that purchases there will be more profitable due to targeted packaging of drugs, as well as the production of its own generics.[67]

In the summer of 2021, Sberbank announced the implementation of the sabbatical practice. Employees are allowed to take unpaid leave of up to a year—with the retention of their jobs (although this required the consent of the immediate supervisor). They are also allowed to work remotely for three months a year.[68]

Deposits of USSR citizens in the bank

[edit]

After price liberalization in the early 1990s, the state and Sberbank effectively abandoned guarantees to secure citizens' deposits,[69] as a result of their depreciation, which, according to sociological surveys, caused a sharp dissatisfaction of the population.[70] Since 1996 there has been a phased compensation of depositors' losses.[71] Since February 16, 2008 Sberbank branches have started to pay compensation on Soviet deposits to certain categories of population.[72]

The law on full compensation of deposits taking into account changes in the real value of the ruble was adopted in 1995, but since 2003 the start of payments has been regularly postponed. In 2019, a law was adopted to postpone the start of payments to 2023 once again.[73] As of 2022, repayment of the entire debt of RUB 345.54 billion in 2023 would require RUB 62.7 trillion (including indexation). In the fall of 2022, the government sent a bill to the State Duma to move the deadline to early 2026.[74]

Ownership

[edit]

The majority shareholder of Sberbank is the Russian National Wealth Fund managed by the Government of Russia (until 2020 the Central Bank of the Russian Federation), owning 50%+1 voting share of Sberbank's voting shares. The rest of the shares are dispersed among portfolio, private and other investors.[5][75]

Russia's central bank cannot sell its stake without a change in Russia's laws.[76][77]

Management

[edit]

The president and chief executive officer is Herman Gref, confirmed by the board of directors on 16 October 2007.[78]

Sergei Gorkov joined Sberbank in November 2008 eventually becoming the head of the international operations and the senior vice chairman of the board from 10 October 2010, until 26 February 2016, when he left Sberbank to become the Chairman of Vnesheconombank.[79][80][81][82][83] He greatly expanded Sberbank from operations in only two foreign countries, Kazakhstan (2006)[84][85] and Ukraine (December 2007),[84][86] to over twenty countries including Belarus (2009),[84][87] Germany (2009),[84][88] China (2010),[84][89] India (September 2010),[84][90] Switzerland (31 December 2011),[84][91] Austria (acquisition of Volksbank International AG on 15 February 2012; changed name to Sberbank Europe AG on 1 November 2012, with locations in Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Ukraine, and Germany),[84][92] Bosnia-Herzegovina (20 February 2013),[93] Hungary (31 December 2011; 1 November 2013, as Sberbank Hungary Ltd),[84][94] Croatia (February 2012),[84][95] Czech Republic (20 February 2013),[84][96] Slovenia (28 January 2013),[84] Serbia (24 December 2012),[84][97] Slovakia (15 February 2013),[84][98] and Turkey (acquisition of DenizBank in September 2012).[84][99][100][101] Following Gorkov's departure, Svetlana Alekseyevna Sagaydak (Russian: Светлана Алексеевна Cагайдак) became the new Senior Vice Chairman of the Board.[80]

The chairman of the supervisory board of Sberbank (since April 2021) is Anton Siluanov, Minister of Finance of Russia.[102]

Formerly from 2003 to 2013 the head of RIA Novosti and from 2006 to 2016 its editor in chief, Svetlana Mironyuk is a vice-president and the head of marketing and communications since 1 February 2016.[103][104]

In February 2022, Sverbank announced foundation of its own e-commerce holding, headed by its former top-manager Lev Khasis but in a week on Feb 22,2022 he left Sberbank.[105]

Controversies

[edit]

Savings freezing

[edit]
See also: 1998 Russian financial crisis

Sberbank is the successor of Soviet Saving Banks (as it name implies), whose assets belonged to the state.[128] During Russia's transition to a market economy in the 1990s, in which these assets were sold, Sberbank provided no guarantee for citizens' deposits.[129] This resulted in a landslide depreciation, which in turn led to severe discontent among the Russian population.[130] Since 1996, partial compensation for investors' losses has been offered.[131] However, until 2003 this only applied to state-owned banks such as Sberbank, giving them an unfair advantage over fully private banks.[132]

The law of 1995 assumed that in 2003 the repayment of debts to the population would begin, taking into account the real value of the ruble at the current moment. However, for 20 years, the start of payments was regularly postponed. As of 2022, the full repayment of the debt would cost the state almost 200 trillion rubles. In the fall of 2022, the government introduced a bill on a new delay - until 2026.[133]

Low level of service in the early 2000s

[edit]

In the early 2000s, Sberbank was repeatedly blamed for poor service.[134][135] In subsequent years, Sberbank introduced new services[136] and improved the quality of some of its existing ones. By the mid-2010s, the bank was reportedly among the market leaders with regards to quality of client services, such as services for retail depositors,[137] premium services[138] and several others.

Laundering stolen money accusations, Prevezon Holdings

[edit]
See also: Hermitage Capital Management

Sergei Leonidovich Magnitsky accused numerous persons and entities of laundering stolen money in tax fraud in a Hermitage Capital Management case [ru] in Russia.[139] Owned by Denis Katsyv, Prevezon Holdings, represented by Natalia Vladimirovna Veselnitskaya and Louis Freeh, paid $6 million to resolve the claim without admitting any crime which subsequently led to all charges being dropped by the Justice Department in the summer of 2017.[139][140][141][a]

Pavlovgranite case

[edit]

In United States court, Sergey P. Poymanov (Russian: Сергей Пойманов), a Voronezh-based businessman, sued Sberbank, several of its subsidiaries and executives, and a business rival for 750 million rubles, claiming that a valuable granite gravel quarry he owned was illegally bankrupted and seized by the bank in a corporate raid in 2012. Sberbank says it took the quarry as collateral after Mr. Poymanov failed to repay a loan. Sberbank is retaining Marc Kasowitz for this court case.[139]

In January 2017 Herman Gref, a bank chief executive, has personally commented on Poymanov case, referring to the latter as a "fraudster" and accusing him of not paying loands and debts, and that Poymanov is charged with a felony. He said that Poymanov "extracted" a lot of money out of the company and that he was offered with a restructuring of his loans but allegedly refused.[145]

Poymanov was subsequently charged with a bunch of misdemeanors and arrested on May 24, 2017, by Russian police who then subjected him to harsh pretrial detention at a notoriously rough Moscow jail, Matrosskaya Tishina, which is the same jail where Magnitsky died.[139][146] He was charged with alleged embezzlement of company's money amounting to almost 1 billion rubles (about USD$11 million) as a part of Bankruptcy fraud.[147]

Ukrainian sanctions and vandalism of Sberbank property

[edit]
Anti-Russian graffiti "It's a Russian bank" near the department of bank in Oleksandriia, Ukraine

In April 2014, several Ukrainian officials accused Sberbank of funding the 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine, including alleged terrorism. The bank denied any involvement in the financing of illegal activities on Ukrainian territory, which was later confirmed by an examination carried out by the National Bank of Ukraine.[148]

"It is another instance of aggressive nationalism of neo-Nazi dogma that is gathering momentum in Ukraine and obviously enjoys support of official authorities of the country," the Russian foreign ministry stated.[149]

15 March 2017, the president of Ukraine imposed sanctions on Sberbank (and other Russian state-owned banks operating in Ukraine: VTB Bank, BM Bank, Prominvestbank, and VS Bank [uk] (Ukrainian: ВіЕс Банк)) as part of its continued sanctions on Russia for its annexation of Crimea and involvement in the war in Donbas.[43][44][45] Since then, Sberbank's Ukrainian subsidiary, VS Bank (Ukrainian: ВіЕс Банк), has been put on sale.[43] But as of August 2017 it has been unsuccessfully trying to sell the asset after the National Bank of Ukraine blocked the sale of the bank due to a "failure to provide the necessary and sufficient documents to carry out checks on the investors in compliance with Ukrainian law."[43] In 2017 Sberbank was reported to be waiting for approval from the National Bank of Ukraine to sell its Ukrainian subsidiaries. "Everything is prepared on our side. The question is whether we will be given a permission to sell or not by Ukrainian authorities," Herman Gref who is the chairman of Sberbank said on the World Economic Forum held in Davos in January 2018. On 13 December 2017, Sberbank sold another subsidiary, VS Bank (Ukrainian: ВіЕс Банк), to a Ukrainian banker, former PrivatBank chairman Serhiy Tihipko.[47][149]

Troika Laundromat accusation in Lithuania

[edit]
Main article: Sberbank CIB § Troika Laundromat

In March 2019, the Troika Laundromat was exposed as an international money laundering network involving the Troika Dialog which is an investment bank that has been merged with the Sberbank's subsidiary Sberbank CIB.[150][151][152][153]

2019 data breach

[edit]

In October 2019, it was revealed that analysts from cybersecurity firm DeviceLock had shared information about a large Sberbank data breach with the newspaper, the Kommersant.[154] The personal information of up to 60 million Sberbank credit cards had been offered for sale on the black market. It was the largest data breach to have taken place in Russian banking.[155]

Manoogian in Palm Beach, Florida, near Mar-a-Lago where Freeh often attends events.[143][144]
