First Deputy Chairman of the Sberbank Executive Board Alexander Vedyakhin announced the news at the Eastern Economic Forum. The growth is due to the continuous increase in functionality of the mobile app, which lets users manage their finances via a smartphone. The app and online banking are available to holders of any Sberbank card.

Recently, non-customers and customers holding no cards have been allowed to place an order for a debit card right after installing the app. Apart from a Sber card, you can order a SberMobile SIM card and learn about the benefits of the bank and its ecosystem's popular products before you sign up.

The list of financial and non-financial services SberBank Online has to offer continues to grow day by day. The application lets you open savings accounts, issue loans, transfer money, plan a budget, use investment and insurance products, as well as the services of Sber ecosystem companies SberLogistics, SberMobile, and more.

Besides its wide functionality, the app stands out due to its emotion-intensive design, which boosts your mood. SberBank Online has welcome screens for those who love art. Users are free to choose their interface color scheme (lavender and graphite are the most popular colors). The app's avatar constructor kit allows you to create a user picture by choosing face shape, complexion, eye color, hair style, and clothing. This is one of the reasons why the SberBank Online design won a silver trophy during A' Design Award & Competition this May. Furthermore, the app has had a Dialogue service since 2018 where you can easily send money, cards, and read the channels of interest.

Particular importance is given to security. Cybersecurity services - alerts about scam calls, limitations of online payments, blocking access to accounts, the Report a Scam section, a wide range of training materials (videos, articles, tests) and much more - help clients improve their financial literacy and choose the best security settings, protecting themselves from scammers. Sber's approach to cybersecurity in SberBank Online won this year's Global Infosec Awards.

Last but not least, Sber was named Russia's best digital banking for individuals and corporate customers by Global Finance in August 2021.

SberBank Online is a perfect example of the 'bank in your pocket' concept. In just a few years, we have managed to create from scratch a fully digital Sber that is always out there - exactly where you choose to use it. Any service is a couple of clicks or taps away or is available instantly. Opening a savings account or taking out a loan is as simple as ordering a pizza. And it is more than just a universal financial instrument - it is a cozy and secure personal space you can customize. So there is a reason why a few days ago we passed another milestone of 70 million users accessing SberBank Online at least once a month. We shall keep making customers happy by launching new functions and services, helping people to save money as well as time, which we need for things that really matter.
