  Sber Bank

The Financial Trap:
Never save your money in privet Russian Bank...
As the 1999 Crises strike all the country and many foreigners and even Russians lost their money.
As 90% of privet Banks had bankrupted.
Thank you my lord… in this period I had no money saved in any Bank.

Unique Suggestions: After this crises people learned good lesson: is to save their money only in a government Bank.
Such as the: “Sber Bank”
There are several banks of this type in each of the Russian City’s.
It was proved that even while strong crises they bear and continue working.

Fun Alternatives: Already Suggested.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
