«We see how the interest in new financial tools is growing, and among the younger generation as well. Now school and university students want to get the information on modern products and services, how to efficiently manage your funds, how to invest, how to avoid financial risks and fraud scams. We are ready to tell them about it. It is important for us that current and future Sberbank clients can use up-to-date financial services most efficiently and with minimal risks», - said Vladimir Cherkashin.

The Rector of Ural Federal University Victor Koksharov remarked:

«Sberbank is a key partner of Ural Federal University. Our cooperation is not limited to public lectures, we develop students’ skills together. In order to do that, we have educational programmes in the field of machine learning, financial and credit analysis, big data management. Combined with project learning and individual learning tracks, it helps us train in-demand specialists, capable of making successful careers in Sberbank».
