Money rules the world, and almost all of them go through the country's financial institutions - banks. Absolutely every person in his life goes to the bank for one reason or another: to take a loan, make a deposit, make a money transfer and, in the end, simply pay for electricity, light and water. Naturally, anyone who uses such serious services as deposits or loans would like to be sure that the bank is reliable and that its money will be saved.
In order to have a complete picture and make the right choice, you can turn your attention to the popularity of financial institutions. Your attention is given a rating of Russian banks according to various criteria, such as the degree of reliability, stability, popularity, profit margins and issued loans, and so on.
The base for calculating indicators collects absolutely all the financial institutions of our country that publish reports on their financial activities in the public domain. The rating for each criterion looks like the ordering of banks by a specific indicator. The main objective of the rating is to compare banks according to the highest performance ratings, thus demonstrating their position in the financial market.
Rating of the largest banks in the country
Nowadays, in times of crisis and financial instability, people are trying to get out of a financial institution to invest their money not only in terms of interest on deposits, but in terms of reliability, and most often the largest banks are leaders in the reliability rating, which is not surprising.
So, the rating of the largest banks in Russia :
1. Sberbank of Russia OJSC.
2. CJSC VTB (Vnshetorgbank).
3. OAO Gazprombank.

Reliability
The rating of Russian banks is compiled according to different criteria, but reliability is, perhaps, the most important thing, with which we will begin. To determine the level of this indicator of a bank, various selection criteria are used. In order for the assessment to be qualitative, a quantitative method is used, the essence of which is the simultaneous analysis of various financial reporting data: the amount of assets, capital, liquidity, deposits, loans and so on.
Reliability rating of Russian banks:
1. Sberbank of Russia OJSC
The oldest bank in the country. Such a high level of reliability is simply explained - this bank is ready to help citizens in financial matters even in the most difficult time for the country.
2. CJSC VTB (Vneshtorgbank)
It has a high level of reliability primarily because it is supported by the state. More than 50% of the shares are held by the state. This bank is popularly called the Putin Bank.
3. OAO Gazprombank
The bank's activities are controlled by the Rossiya Bank, which is located in St. Petersburg. Gazprombank has all the funds of the Gazprom enterprise.
4. Russian Agricultural Bank OJSC
5. Financial experts argue that it is the agricultural sector that accounts for the largest number of loans, for which the state will always allocate funds. This is what the bank insures, which means that its customers are insured by default.
6. OJSC MMBM Bank of Moscow.
The mere fact that this bank is the main financial institution of the government of the capital of the country inspires confidence.
Below the rating of Russian banks by such a criterion as reliability is tabulated in descending order of the number of their assets. The first ten are presented.
No. | Name of the bank | Rating | Asset Place |
1 | Sberbank of Russia | ●●●●● | 1 |
2 | VTB (Vnshetorgbank) | ●●●●● | 2 |
3 | Gazprombank | ●●●●● | 3 |
4 | VTB 24 | ●●●●● | 4 |
5 | Russian Agricultural Bank | ●●●●● | 5 |
6 | MMBM Bank of Moscow | ●●●●● | 6 |
7 | Alfa Bank | ●●● | 7 |
8 | Nomos Bank | ●●● | 8 |
9 | Promsvyazbank | ●●●● | 10 |
10 | Raiffeisenbank | ●●●● | 12 |
Reliability rating reflects the ability of financial institutions of the country to fulfill their obligations to customers, as well as the amount of capital and its liquidity in the event that there will be an outflow of funds from settlement accounts and deposits.
Asset rating of Russian banks
The bank's assets are: cash on hand, the amount of issued credit products, the volume of investments in securities and commercial real estate, other values that can be estimated in monetary terms. Assets must work and bring high profits.
A place in the rating of assets is one of the most significant criteria in choosing a bank for the purpose of storing cash on deposits, the use of cards and settlement accounts, as well as other financial transactions. There is such an expression: "This bank is too large to go bankrupt." This expression is really true. The reliability of a financial institution increases by default when its assets grow.
Below the rating of Russian banks by assets is summarized in a table (in descending order).
No. | Name of the bank | Number of assets |
1 | Sberbank of Russia | 17 477 454 224,00 rub. |

Capital
Capital is nothing but the own resources of a financial institution. This includes absolutely all the funds and values that belong directly to the bank, which can be estimated in monetary terms. Those funds that were placed by his clients on accounts and
deposits do not belong to the
bank . First of all, capital is used as a means of making profit through investment.
Stability largely depends on the size of capital. The reason for this lies in the fact that the bank, using its own funds, creates reserve funds, from which in the future it will use the funds to cover possible losses. Therefore, the rating of Russian banks by capital is of great importance in determining its reliability.
Below is presented and tabulated in descending order of rating by size of capital.

Stability
It is worth noting that the concept of stability is not identical to the concept of reliability, although they are related to each other. Stability provides the bank’s ability not only to save the money of its customers, but also to operate in a crisis without any losses, which, of course, is a very important factor in trusting the bank.
So, the most stable are banks:
1. Sberbank of Russia OJSC
It’s not even worth explaining. A bank that holds a leading position in the rating of reliability, as well as a leader in all other ratings, cannot be unstable.
2. VTB CJSC (Vnshetorgbank)
For several years in a row, it has been a leader in various ratings.
3. Russian Agricultural Bank OJSC
Absolutely reasonable position. This is the largest bank in Russia, which finances all agricultural activities, and if it goes bankrupt, then all the country's agriculture will decline, and the government will never allow this.
4. MMBM Bank of Moscow OJSC
It occupies a leading position in view of the fact that 44% of the shares are held by the state of the Russian Federation.
5. CJSC VTB 24
For some time, the activities of this bank were not entirely adequate. He issued a large number of loans, which during the crisis almost brought him to complete ruin, but thanks to the support of VTB CJSC he recovered and continued his activity quite successfully. And in the end, he took a leading position in the ratings.
6. CJSC Uni-Credit Bank
It is the largest foreign bank in Russia. Belongs to the Italian group UniCredit. During the crisis, he behaved stably.
The question of choosing a reliable financial institution is now acute due to the fact that there are many banks and they offer a huge range of services. Based on the above data, it is quite possible to choose a suitable financial institution for yourself.
