About East West United Bank S.A.

East West United Bank S.A. is a Luxembourg credit institution established in 1974 and headquartered in Luxembourg City, operating under the supervision of the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) and subject to EU banking, AML, and sanctions rules; eligible deposits are covered by the Luxembourg deposit guarantee scheme (FGDL) up to EUR 100,000 per depositor, with investor-compensation coverage provided by SIIL according to applicable limits. The bank is part of the Sistema group and is not publicly listed; it publishes statutory financial statements and Pillar 3 disclosures but does not carry a widely referenced external credit rating. EWUB positions itself as a niche provider to private, corporate, and institutional clients with cross‑border needs, historically including links between the EU and CIS markets, and offers multi‑currency current and savings accounts, payments, payment cards, term deposits, foreign exchange and money market services, secured and unsecured lending subject to collateral and jurisdictional constraints, and trade finance instruments such as guarantees and letters of credit; it also provides custody, execution, and portfolio services on a discretionary or advisory basis, charging standard schedule fees for account maintenance, transfers, brokerage, custody, FX spreads, and asset management. Service is delivered through relationship managers with online and mobile banking channels; working languages commonly include English, French, and Russian; the SWIFT/BIC is EWUBLULL. Account opening follows Luxembourg KYC/AML standards with enhanced due diligence for higher‑risk geographies and complex ownership structures; onboarding timelines and minimum balance expectations vary by client segment, and non‑resident onboarding and certain lending activities may be restricted by policy or sanctions compliance. As a small Luxembourg bank with a concentrated shareholder profile and a cross‑border business mix, key considerations for prospective clients include counterparty diversification, potential indirect exposure to geopolitical and sanctions developments, limited branch footprint, and the absence of a public credit rating; interested clients should review the latest annual report, capital and liquidity ratios, and the current fee schedule before engagement.
