On June 6, 2022, it became known about the renaming of Best Efforts Bank, which is engaged in depository services for St. Petersburg Exchange. The new name of the credit institution is "SPB Bank."

SPB Exchange spoke about its intentions to rename its subsidiary to SPB Bank in April 2022. At the same time, the trading platform announced the goal of increasing the capital of the credit institution seven times. The plans include the placement of 400 million ordinary shares by open subscription. If we consider that the nominal value of the share is estimated at 10 rubles, then additional capitalization will help attract at least 4 billion rubles.
