Trade union

On December 9, 2009, the bank created a primary trade union organization (PTU) of the all-Russian trade union of office and managerial personnel, creative and intellectual workers “TOGETHER”. After Ivan Svitek was notified of the creation of the trade union, the chairman of the PPO and members of the trade union committee were given notices of layoffs.

In response to a request from Vedomosti regarding the created trade union, the bank’s press service sent the following message to the editor:

“The Bank actively maintains an atmosphere of open communication with all its employees through constant direct communication within the company. This atmosphere not only motivates and focuses our employees on results, but also provides comfortable working conditions and develops its corporate culture. The process of communication with employees is permanent, is key to the bank’s policy and does not depend on the presence or absence of trade unions.”

According to the chairman of the PPO bank, the reaction of the bank management to the creation of the trade union was aggressive:

“Since the bank has Czech roots, I assumed that the attitude towards the trade union movement should be rather European and democratic. But the reaction was aggressive. I was pressed for several hours by the security service, as if I were being interrogated by the Gestapo. They called people with whom I communicated. They said straight out: there won’t be any trade union in the bank - they will find a reason to fire all union members.”

Criticism

Rospotrebnadzor also filed claims against the bank for the inclusion in the loan agreement of a condition regarding contractual jurisdiction at the bank's location in Moscow. Following the emerging judicial practice, in 2010 the terms of contractual jurisdiction were also changed by the bank.

In May 2007, a deputy from the A Just Russia faction, Oleg Shein, submitted a parliamentary request to the General Prosecutor's Office and the FSB with a request to investigate the bank's activities for fraudulent activities. In his parliamentary request, Shein expressed concern that the victims of dubious, from his point of view, credit schemes could be the poorest citizens, who constitute the main target audience of Home Credit Bank. Based on this request, a prosecutor's inspection was carried out, as well as inspections by the antimonopoly service and the Bank of Russia. Based on the results of the inspections, no violations were identified in the bank’s activities.

The share of issued interbank loans in assets is 11.4%, another 1.9% is accounted for by highly liquid assets (balances in cash and correspondent accounts with the Central Bank). In the interbank lending market, the bank is active in both directions; lending turnover in the last months of the reporting period amounted to 20-140 billion rubles, and in attracting liquidity - 24-106 billion rubles.

2018: The first loan in Russia with remote identification

In mid-July 2018, Home Credit Bank announced the issuance of the first loan in Russia using remote identification. Russians have the opportunity to remotely use banking products and services after the launch of a unified biometric system.

At the first stage, Home Credit issues online loans for the purchase of goods using completely remote client identification. In the future, the bank plans to design most of its other products in the same way.

It is noted that online identification of the first client took less than a minute. After this, he was able to remotely sign an agreement to receive a POS loan and purchase a vacuum cleaner in the online store of Home Credit Bank’s partner, the Russian representative office of Samsung.

In order not to undergo face-to-face identification at banks, clients need to provide their biometric data (voice and facial image) once, which will be stored in a single system. Rostelecom provides collection, processing and storage of biometric data, as well as verification of their compliance with the initially submitted biometric samples. The results of the verification are transmitted to banks for remote identification of citizens when opening accounts.

After registering in a unified biometric system, a citizen will be able to remotely receive the services of any bank working with the system. The client just needs to enter the login/password for the Unified Identification and Autonomous Identification and say a short passphrase generated by the system while looking into the camera of a smartphone or computer.

By July 17, 2018, Home Credit accepts biometric information from clients in its offices in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg and Kazan. In a short time, it is planned to increase the number of such branches to 80, and by the end of 2019 it will be possible to take biometrics in all branches of the bank, his message says.

2017

The volume of loans issued through POS online exceeded 1 billion rubles

The volume of loans issued for goods through POS-online technology at Home Credit Bank exceeded 1 billion rubles, which amounted to 3.5% of the total volume of POS loans issued by the bank. About 80% of online loans were issued without a down payment and overpayment, Home Credit reported on October 19, 2017.

Most often, household appliances and mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) were taken out on credit, with audio and video equipment in third place. The most popular household appliances are washing machines, refrigerators, microwave ovens and stoves. And among video and audio equipment, most of the loans were taken for televisions.

POS-online is a technology developed by Home Credit Bank for processing loans using a simplified application via the Internet. The first POS online loans were issued in the Eldorado online store in the summer of 2016. As of October 2017, the bank's main partners in this project include Eldorado, M.Video, DNS and other large online stores.

When applying for a loan through POS online, in most cases the client only needs to fill out 5 fields. It takes the bank 40 seconds to fully evaluate a short application. Basic clients can sign an agreement via SMS and receive a loan completely remotely.
