Tinkoff Credit Systems Brings its Click-To-Meet Technology to the U.S.

Categories: FinovateFall 2013, Tinkoff Credit Systems

This post is part of our live coverage of FinovateFall 2013.

All the way from Moscow, here’s Russia’s leading provider of online financial services, Tinkoff Credit Systems, with their Click-To-Meet technology.

“The customer can apply online or by phone for a credit card, debit card, or to make a deposit. She simply has to complete the application on the bank’s website and the next day the bank’s representative (‘smart courier’) will meet her at her place of choice to sign documents and to deliver the card.

This facility is mind-bogglingly good. The implementation of this innovation took the following steps:

We established a nationwide courier system specifically for our online deposit programme
We extended the courier delivery programme to credit cards
As we honed the service, we developed our own technologies and software
TCS now operates one of the biggest courier companies in Russia.”

Product Launch: May 2013

Metrics: 5,900 employees, $2.3B in assets, & over 3 million credit cards issued

Product distribution strategy: Direct to Consumer (B2C)

HQ: Moscow, Russia

Founded: December 2006
