How do you work, when nine out of 10 clients don’t trust you? That figure doesn’t apply specifically to Delta Bank, but the whole Ukrainian financial system. This sad statistic was published on May 26, 2009 by the analytical group Center. No more than 1 million depositors intend to open deposit accounts in the near future. And only 2 percent of them will be guided by the interest rate in their choice of bank. A big deposit is the key bargaining chip that Nikolai Lagun, the owner of Delta Bank, offers private clients. “We are pleased to offer you one of the highest rates of interest on the market,” reads the bank’s web site. Time will tell whether or not clients will take the bait. While the assets of the bank shrank by more than Hr 200 million in the first quarter, the equity capital lost Hr 2 million. In May the National Bank refinanced the bank to the tune of Hr 700 million, which will probably help Delta Bank to hold onto its 31st place by assets among the country’s 182 banks.
