I applied for the 1-year interest-free card at Alfa-Bank. Bank employee Ekaterina said that I could withdraw cash and there would be no interest for a whole year. In fact, interest was charged on the credit card at 69.99%. And yesterday, the same employee told me, "No..., I didn't tell you that!" ))))) I do not recommend this bank! Con artists and thieves!

Online banking is also top-notch, never let me down, transfers, payments - everything is fast and hassle-free. In general, I'm satisfied so far, hope everything stays ok!

It so happened that I've been using Alfa-Bank services for about 5 years. Overall, I like everything. The main thing is the convenience of online banking. The app works without glitches, all payments and transfers go through quickly. The cashback card is also a nice bonus, has come in handy more than once. Well, and the interest rates on debit cards are very attractive. There are minor flaws, of course, but those are just nitpicks. Once there was an incident with the credit limit, but they resolved the issue quickly. In general, I don't see any reason to change banks yet.
