ACRA
On April 19, 2021 The Analytical Credit Rating Agency (ACRA) upgraded the credit rating of Sovcombank to "AA-(RU)" and changed the outlook to "Stable". The credit rating has been upgraded due to a change in the assessment of the Bank’s systemic importance as part of the financial system of the Russian Federation. In addition, the Agency expects the merger with PJSC "Orient Express Bank" to result in the total volume of Sovcombank’s liabilities approaching RUB 600 bln and the Bank strengthening its presence in a number of Russian regions. The Bank’s rating is based on strong capital position, and adequate assessment of the business profile, risk profile, funding and liquidity.

On December 28, 2021, the National Credit Ratings agency ("NCR") affirmed the credit rating of Sovcombank PJSC at "AA -" and changed an outlook to "Positive". According to analysts, the Bank's strong market position is combined with increasing business diversification, and an adequate capital buffer is supported by consistently high profitability and low risk appetite. Sovcombank's business grew faster than the market in 2021 and this growth is partially explained by M&A activity. The Agency believes that this year's acquisitions will strengthen Sovcombank's retail portfolio, as well as insurance and factoring businesses.
