RBA has a leasing division, which provides finance for vehicles, machinery and equipment. The company is also offering its own second-hand equipment for sale or finance leasing.
Nick Tesseyman, EBRD managing director financial institutions, said: "By becoming an equity partner, the EBRD is strengthening the capital base of Raiffeisen Bank Aval alongside with RBI, contributing to a much-needed recapitalisation of Ukraine’s banking sector as a whole and deepening its long-standing cooperation with Raiffeisen Bank International, a major international banking group. This partnership will reinforce Raiffeisen Bank Aval’s position as a major provider of modern banking services of high quality both to businesses and individuals in Ukraine and help unlock the country’s potential."
