ArmInfo. Within Super-rate service VTB Bank (Armenia) has already refunded nearly 20 million AMD to conscientious borrowers, Director of Retail Business Development Department of VTB Bank (Armenia) Ivan Telegin told ArmInfo's correspondent at the today's press conference.

At the same time he clarified that refund was done on 10% of the interest paid as the new threshold of 20% was launched less than half a year ago, while minimum term of loan payments within Super-rate bank service is 6 months. "More than 5 thousand clients of VTB Bank (Armenia), who became participants of Super-rate campaign, were paid back part of the paid interest, as according to their loan history they turned to be conscientious borrowers", he summarized.

To note, in April 2016 VTB Bank (Armenia) has improved "Super-rate" service terms, refunding 20% of the interest versus the previous 10% paid within at least 6 months to the conscientious borrowers.
