Sberbank to provide an Internet service?

Sberbank of Russia has announced the intention to develop a system of remote servicing of clients. According to the President and Chairman of the Board Andrei Kazmin there are 30,000 clients to a branch in Moscow, despite there being about 800 branches throughout the capital. And the area of a typical branch rarely exceeds 100 square metres, leading to the crush on pension day. The problem with expanding the floor area of branches is linked with high property prices. Sberbank sees a solution to the problem in automation and servicing at a distance through remote terminals. However, the word "Internet" has yet to be heard in these forecasts.
