One of Sber’s most prominent non-financial offerings for corporate clients is its approach to digital transformation. This initiative is highlighted by First Deputy Chairman Alexander Vedyakhin in a conversation with Rossiya 24, where he noted that more than 1,000 client companies are actively pursuing this journey with the bank. The message was clear: digital transformation is not optional anymore. It has shifted from a strategic choice to a business necessity for those aiming to stay competitive in today’s market.
The bank is not stopping there. Vedyakhin explained that Sber is currently assisting thousands of customers in their digital journeys, and the bank has 8,500 additional clients on its list of applications for this program. This puts a spotlight on the scale of adoption and the broad reach of Sber’s digital services across diverse sectors.
Beyond adoption rates, the executives shared performance insights. Companies that have embraced digital transformation report, on average, faster revenue growth — about 10% higher than their peers that have not undergone the transition. This data underscores the tangible impact of digital modernization on business performance and efficiency in real terms.
Looking at the outcomes over the past year, it was noted that each customer engaging in the transformation process contributed, on average, more than 1 billion rubles in value. This figure reflects the cumulative effect of integrated digital solutions, process optimization, and data-driven decision making across the enterprise landscape.
Earlier disclosures from Sber highlighted the breadth of non-financial offerings tailored for entrepreneurs. Sector-specific solutions have become especially popular, currently used by more than 300,000 companies. Vedyakhin emphasized that these targeted solutions open new doors for small businesses, helping them navigate regulatory requirements, streamline operations, and access markets more efficiently. The emphasis on sectoral innovations illustrates how digital tools can be tuned to the unique needs of different industries, delivering practical benefits and measurable results.
