The Corporate Multinational Client Department specializes in serving clients of foreign origin. Today, more than ever, a high level of customer service and a personal approach are important. The team provides a wide range of financial services, with a strong focus on strategic partnerships. Issues of currency control, cash #management services, and registration and servicing of loans from non-residents are especially relevant at the moment. These issues are particularly sensitive for international donor organizations today. According to Artur Baglaiev, head of the department, with the beginning of a full-scale invasion, the interaction "Client - Bank" was transformed into a cooperation "Partner - Bank". At the same time, it became extremely important not only to find a profitable financial solution for business but also to support each other in adapting to new realities. It is worth noting that in working with #multinational businesses, it is necessary to maintain a balance between different cultures and legal norms, which to a large extent helps clients to comfortably cooperate with the Bank. The positive dynamics of #partnership with international #business shows that PRAVEX BANK is trusted by foreign #capital, as it is the team's dedication to their work that is the result of #success.

Yesterday we completed our 3 day Corporate Banking roadshow in Milwaukee and Chicago. The team left Chicago feeling energized for what lies ahead with each of the companies visited echoing optimistic outlooks for 2024 and their overall growth prospects around the globe. Some of the key topics raised by the companies we visited were: 1) How can we make better use of our global supplier network to gain working capital improvements? 2) With geopolitical tensions across parts of MENAT what should we look out for as we budget for 2024 and beyond? 3) With Bank ABC being one of the few international banks with presences not only across #Europe, #APAC, and #MENAT but also a large presence in #brazil how can you help us leverage these overlapping presences for monetization of our overseas assets and bringing efficiencies to our global cash mgt needs? 4) Are there alternative capital markets opportunities outside of the traditional US, London, and Hong Kong markets that we can tap into for growth capital and access a new pool of investors? We were able to provide guidance on all of the above and ask other multinational companies to reach out to us who are looking for a different kind of international boutique bank with white glove service, faster decision making, and catered global solutions unique to each company’s needs. #chicago #milwaukee #boutiqueinternationalbank @mikeyusi @johnbarlowe @harrycosgrave

Just on the way back from an insightful business trip across Australia and New Zealand, where we had the privilege of engaging with our esteemed FI clients and partners. The focus of our discussions expanded beyond the horizon of cross-border payments to the integral role of correspondent banking in today’s global financial ecosystem. Starting in Australia, we delved deep into conversations about the challenges and breakthroughs in cross-border payments and correspondent banking. Australia's commitment to innovation was evident, showcasing a keen interest in leveraging technology to enhance the efficiency and security of international financial transactions. The forward-thinking mindset of our Australian FI clients provided fresh perspectives on optimizing our services for better client outcomes. Another highlight was meeting the DB Corporate Bank team in Sydney. Next, our journey took us to the picturesque landscapes of New Zealand. The discussions showed the great collaborative spirit of our local FI clients aiming to streamline processes across the industry while bolstering security and compliance were truly inspiring. Last week was not only an opportunity to strengthen existing relationships but also to laying the groundwork for future collaborations. The insights gained are pivotal as we strive to refine our cross-border payment solutions and enhance our product and service offering. Our discussions underscored the importance of collaboration and innovation in creating a more interconnected and efficient global clearing landscape.
