    ArmInfo. ProCredit Bank opened a new branch in Artashat city of Ararat
    region on October 1, 2009. "Artashat" branch was registered by Central
    bank of RA on September 23, 2009. The branch is located in 93 Ogostos
    23 Str.

    Thus, ProCredit Bank successfully expanded into a new region. The
    opening of the branch in Artashat is not only important because of
    becoming more reachable to people in one more region but also
    launching a new business line: agricultural lending. Now ProCredit
    Bank provides financial services also to agricultural businesses and
    farmers.

    Bertolt Hertzfeldt, Executive director of "ProCredit Bank" CJSC,
    "Agriculture being one of the most important sectors of the Armenian
    economy does not have enough sources of financing. Our aim is to
    develop also this branch of economy and there is much work to be done
    in this field. The opening of the branch in Artashat is tailored to
    develop agribusinesses. The new services distinguish themselves in the
    market by their favorable conditions for clients, such as flexible
    repayment and collateral conditions. We think that we will really
    influence the development of agriculture starting from Ararat region
    and spreading agro lending in other RA regions".

    ProCredit Bank launched its activity in Armenia in February 5, 2008.
