Euromoney said Alfa-Bank could now be seen as the country's top universal bank. “It is Russia's largest privately owned bank, is profitable and holds the highest credit rating for a private financial company, something of an achievement after the financial meltdown in the banking sector in 1998, which is still affecting other competitors...
When it comes to investment banking, Alfa-Bank has also shown impressive strength this year. It was the second-largest arranger of rouble-denominated debt in 2001, was co-lead manager on Wimm-Bill-Dann's IPO and has a very strong M&A advisory team.”

Founded in 1990, Alfa-Bank is Russia's largest private bank with more than 80 branches across Russia and subsidiaries in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, the United States and United Kingdom.
Alfa-Bank has also been voted Best Bank in Russia and Best Trade Finance Bank Russia by the Global Finance in 2002.
