Even supposedly reputable banks can and do go bottom up on occasions but this is more likely in a country where the banking system is not properly 'regulated'. Without knowing, I suspect that Latvia may fall into this category. Here in the UK, small depositors are given some comfort by Government backed guarantees. I suggest that you should first take a look at the banking system itself because unless this is reasonably sound any opinion on an individual bank may not be very helpful. |

My father has an account in Rietumu Banka for several years now. His only complaint is that it has significantly less ATMs than other, competing banks in Latvia. Only several banks in Latvia are locally owned, most belong to Swedish, German etc. banks (e.g. Unibanka belongs to Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, Nord/LB Latvia to Norddeutche Landesbank etc.). This foreign ownership is one of the reasons why the Latvian banking system is generally considered very stable. However, Rietumu Banka is one of those few banks that are owned privately and locally. About the Latvian banking system - I wouldn't agree to probonopublico-ga, actually nowadays it is very well regulated. I personally would have no problem in entrusting my money to Rietumu Banka, however, given the choice, I have chosen a larger bank with more branches, more ATMs etc. |

I found a poll about how people feel about Latvia's banks, including Rietumu Banka: http://www.financenet.lv/sectors/bank/index.php?id=77308 If it's useful to you, I could translate the parts that are about Rietumu Banka. |
