history

In 1990 the bank was founded as a private stock corporation, majority owned by the state. The bank has been integrated into the public sector since 1998 and operates de facto as a state foreign trade and participation bank. Since August 2005, the bank has established a tight branch network for consumers in Russia through takeovers.

It developed into a major bank through takeovers and the will of the Russian government to have a foreign trade and industry financing instrument. With the takeover of Guta-Bank , it developed into a major consumer bank under the name Vneschtorgbank 24 . Since October 24, 2006 the bank has officially been called "VTB", the private customer business is carried out under the name "VTB24" ( Russian "ВТБ24" ), the investment area under VTB Capital .

From November 16, 2012, VTB Direktbank exclusively presented the "Löwen-Live-Ticker" of the Frankfurt ice hockey club; for the 2015/16 season, the club names VTB in second place among its main sponsors

In 2017, VTB repaid half of a $ 600 million loan to Deutsche Bank , which wanted to part with the loan.

On August 9, 2017, the bank announced the completion of the restructuring of its European business. The European business was brought together under the umbrella of an SE .
