Market indicators and ratings are generally available and are a much better source of information about the reliability of banks. The most reliable information on the activities of credit institutions can easily be found on the official website of the Central Bank.

About 6% of respondents choose a bank, focusing on reviews on the Internet. Unfortunately, the network does not have many resources, where the customers of banks share information. Among the most popular sites are the thematic resource banki.ru and the section "Personal Finance" Lf.rbk.ru from RBC.Here you can really find reviews and opinions of real investors and clients of various banks.

Leaders in terms of assets in the Russian market are the RF Security Council, VTB, Gazprombank, VTB-24, Rosselkhoz and the Bank of Moscow.

1. State participation of

More than a third of the respondents( 37.5%) consider the state's participation in the bank's capital as the main criterion of reliability. In the Russian market, such banks are Sberbank, VTB, VTB-24, Rosselkhozbank, Bank of Moscow and Gazprombank. Although for such high reliability it is necessary to pay with low profitability - rates on deposits in banks with state participation are often lower than average market rates.
