CRIF, an international company with operations in Europe and the Americas, has been present in Russia since 2005. Today not only the National Bureau of Credit Histories cooperates with CRIF, but also several major banks amongst which are URALSIB, KMB Bank and MDM Bank. 

During the event, CRIF representatives and major Russian banks focused on specialized risk management tools and shared practical experience on how the implementation of modern technical solutions can increase the efficiency of operations and broaden prospects for further development and growth.
Participants were able to visit Product Expo – a product exhibition representing the most topical issues in Credit risk management such as Loan Origination, Collection, Portfolio Management, and Anti Fraud Solutions.

"CRIF Forum attracted many Russian banks. It is worth mentioning, that besides addressing the needs of major banks and leaders in the consumer credit market, our solutions also cover the needs and interests of smaller and medium-sized banks: proposed solutions and opportunities fit the different structures and business models of our potential partners", said Natalia Shchelovanova, Regional Market Manager, Russia and CIS, CRIF. 
CRIF has been present in Russia since 2005 when it co-founded the national bureau of credit histories (NBCH), together with the National Banking Association (ARB) and some of the country’s main banks. Today, the membership of the Russian credit bureau includes about 600 credit institutions. CRIF’s direct presence in Russia was strengthened during 2007 with the establishment of OOO CRIF, located in Moscow, which offers services ranging from analysis to consultancy, as well as outsourcing, anti-fraud and software solutions.
