We wish to inform you that correspondent accounts opened earlier for OAO IMPEXBANK branches will be closed on February 18, 2008.

Dear Clients,

We wish to remind you that on February 18, 2008 the correspondent accounts previously opened for IMPEXBANK branches will be closed and, therefore, no incoming payments either in rubles or in a foreign currency (including account crediting operations) will be possible unless the new payment details are indicated.

The new payment details of Raiffeisenbank regional branches are available on the bank’s official web-site and at its local branches, or you can also call the bank's Information Center on (495) 721-91-00 (Moscow) and 8-800-200-91-00 (toll-free for calls from Russia).

Please note the information above and communicate it to your partners and contractors in order to ensure correct execution of payment orders in rubles or foreign currency, and of any other underlying documents.
