As part of the annual survey to compile the Rating of the safest banks in the world, the famous American magazine "Global Finance" for the fourth time recognized Ardshinbank as "The Safest Bank in Armenia for 2020''.

The title "The Safest Bank of the year" is awarded based on such important indicators of the Bank's performance as results of the analysis of ratings of long-term liabilities in foreign currencies assigned by at least 2 international rating agencies which are Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch, as well as on the analysis of the total assets of thousands of major banks from 112 countries.

According to the magazine's publisher and editor-in-chief, Joseph Jarraputo, the world suffered from the COVID-19 pandemic and a sharp decline in economic activity during 2020, which significantly affected the creditworthiness of banks.
