It's been four interesting busy years. Not everything worked out quickly and as we wanted. I had to be patient, - wrote Belousov.

According to him, at the very beginning, after the internal audit, a plan was developed to improve the efficiency of IT departments. At the time of the arrival of the new shareholder and his team, the technological lag in the IT direction was more than 3 years. Together with the bank's strategy, a strategy for the development of banking technologies for 3 years was prepared.

Despite the fact that the bank successfully underwent reorganization throughout this time and, thanks to the effective work of top management, had a profit annually, nevertheless, the new strategy for the next three years became even more aggressive.
