Ardshinbank has reduced interest rates on existing SME loans

ArmInfo.Ardshinbank continues to support the development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Armenia by improving financing conditions and expanding opportunities available to businesses.

The Bank has revised the terms of loans provided to SME customers. Emphasizing long-term cooperation and aiming to ease the credit burden on loyal customers, interest rates on existing obligations have been reduced by 1 percentage point. The change came into effect on May 5, 2026.

This initiative is aimed at reducing the financial burden on businesses, stimulating investment activity, and ensuring more competitive conditions for local entrepreneurs.

Ardshinbank also continues to develop its SME service infrastructure. To make business services more flexible, an online lending platform has recently been launched at www.sme.ardshinbank.am, and a specialized “Ardshinbank Business” branch for small and medium-sized enterprises has been opened in Yerevan at 16/12 Tigran Mets Avenue.

The full range of SME services offered by the Bank includes lending, settlement, and advisory solutions tailored to the needs of businesses operating across various sectors.

For any questions regarding SME partnerships or other financial services, you can call the Bank’s 24/7 communication center at 012 22 22 22, visit one of Ardshinbank’s branches, or use the Bank’s official website at www.ardshinbank.am.

Ardshinbank will continue to contribute to the development of the business environment through its activities, acting as a reliable partner for businesses.
