In September 2006 Closed Joint stock company “Bank Credit Suisse (Moscow)” launched new Private Banking onshore operations in Moscow. It became one of the first affiliated banks of foreign credit organizations launching onshore private banking services in Russia. It marks another major step in the implementation of international Credit Suisse growth strategy.
