Sberbank Makes Investment Available to All Russians Through Newly Launched Mobile App

Russian banking firm Sberbank announced on Wednesday the launch of its new mobile banking app, Sberbank Online. According to Sberbank, the app creation allows all retail clients to receive and secure funds to make an investment in a wide range of financial tools, such as stocks, bonds, and investment ideas, selected by Sberbank’s analysts.
