The shareholder of the bank is a foreign company JSC «ALTINBAS HOLDING ANONIM SIRKETI» (Turkey). The bank is guided by the policy of continuous reinvestment of profits in the authorized capital, which contributes to the gradual growth of the market share and high financial stability of the banking institution.

JSC «CREDITWEST BANK» complies with the requirements of current legislation on the amount of authorized and regulatory capital and has a sufficient margin of deviations in capital ratios for further development.

The affirmed ratings of JSC «CREDITWEST BANK» is due to maintaining high liquidity and capitalization of the financial institution, and the bank's membership in the Turkish financial-industrial group Altinbas, which specializes in precious metals, energy, logistics, finance, real estate and education. The bank demonstrates profitable activity and sufficient performance indicators. At the same time, the concentration of the resource base and loan portfolio is maintained in the context of key counterparties, which increases the institution's sensitivity to liquidity and credit risks. Also, the ratings of the banking institution are affected by the preservation of the high sensitivity of the banking system to operational risks, which is due to the volatility of the legislative field, the difficult situation in the economy, as well as the slowdown in business activity due to the deteriorating epidemiological situation in the country and the imposed of economic and administrative restrictions.
