Due to its financial stability and reliability, the Bank has gained a good reputation and trust both in Armenia, as well as in the international financial arena.

Various international, financial and agricultural organizations have shown great interest and willingness to cooperate with the Bank. There are also favorable conditions for cooperation with international organizations because some of them view the bank as a financial instrument and the other part as an instrument for implementing agricultural programs.

The Bank’s activities were originally aimed at financing UK’s agriculture. In 1996, the bank provided only short-term seasonal agricultural loans. In the years following its establishment, the bank has also gradually extended loans for non-agricultural programs in rural areas and, since 1999, for small and medium-sized businesses. Currently the bank offers a variety of universal credit products and is one of the leaders among UK banks in terms of volume of credit investments in real economy. Credit investments are central to the bank’s long-term development plans.
