YEREVAN, August 8. /ARKA/. The Conversebank (Armenia) has opened its

enlarging its branch network and introducing new banking products.

to its policy of rendering comprehensive and affordable services to
all the sections of Armenia's population, the bank continues enlarging

bank plans to introduce a new instrument to facilitate distant control
over accounts.
"The clients of the newly opened Sayat Nova branch will allow the
clients to deposits on preferential terms. We aim at attracting
as many clients as possible, and if the branch proves a success,
we will apply this mechanism throughout Armenia," he said.
