Rosbank to take a more personal approach to meeting our customers’
needs. We hope that My Style will strengthen Rosbank’s image as a
customer-oriented financial institution and attract young people
and other forward-looking clients.”

initiative will help boost transactions and interchange fees due to
front-of-wallet placement and improve acquisition and retention
rates.
