BCS Financial Group has unveiled a corporate split in a bid to restructure and rebrand its investment banking business. Classical corporate banking as well as debt capital market (DCM) services will be provided under the brand of BCS Corporate & Investment Bank, or BCS CIB. Global markets operations, structured products and equity capital market (ECM) services will continue to be provided by BCS Global Markets.

“The restructuring of our investment banking and, consequently, the re-branding of some segments is driven by the global developments, primarily by the need to have a more distinct delineation between our Russian and international operations. However, the rebranding will not affect our client relations or the comfort of working with us. All the products and active contracts remain in place under the same terms,” said Alexey Gonus, Head of BCS CIB.

BCS CIB will focus on Russian corporate clients (both large companies and SMEs) as well as UHNWIs. The company offers a wide range of banking and investment services, including loans and bank guarantees, deposits and investment opportunities, cash and settlement services, trade finance and foreign trade assistance, contract support, as well as placement of bond issues, including in RMB. BCS CIB (as one of BCS Global Markets' businesses) has been operating in the Russian market since 2012 and is among the Top 100 Russian banks by assets and capital.
