According to the bank, the total amount of such transactions will reach 9 billion rubles, three times more than in 2023. In January-August of this year, 12.5 thousand loans worth 5.5 billion rubles were already settled, while for the whole of 2023 the volume amounted to 2.9 billion rubles for 6.2 thousand problem loans. It is expected that by the end of this year Sber will carry out 20 thousand transactions totaling 9 billion rubles.
Denis Kuznetsov, head of Sberbank’s retail debt collection and settlement division, noted that the average time for making a decision on debt settlement is decreasing. In 2023, this process took 16 days, and in 2024 – already 13. Next year, the bank plans to move the process completely online and further reduce the review time.
Sber has launched a comprehensive settlement program in 2022. With its help, citizens facing financial difficulties can restructure their loans.
It covers all types of loans and allows you to settle debt obligations with different banks in a single application, eliminating the need to contact multiple credit institutions.
