«One third of Unibank’s assets are the portfolio of retail landing at the moment,- said Gurgen Ghukasyan, Director for retail business promotion and sales.- We highly appreciate our clients’ trust: hundreds of thousands of Armenian citizens turn to us for a quicker realization of their goals. We, in our turn, try to make consumer loans more available: the conditions are beneficial for wide layers of the population, the decision on lending is made in a minute, the service network is continually growing and the application may be submitted also without visiting the bank».
Unibank’s online applications are becoming more and more popular. In 2018, clients submitted 77% more online loan applications than in 2017.
