ARMSWISSBANK CJSC was awarded the “Most Active Issuing Bank in 2018 in Armenia” by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), at their annual meeting held in Sarajevo on May 7, 2019.

The cooperation has developed in a number of directions, particularly, within the scope of SME Lending Program, Trade Finance Program, GCF-GEFF Armenia Energy Efficiency Program and Global Master Repo Agreement (GMRA), which regulates the process of concluding repo transactions with securities in international financial markets.
