“We have always strived to make our service comfortable. Today, when Skype has become an integral part of business life and is used all over the world from New York to Japan, the accessibility of Skype is the question of respect towards our customers. Besides, talking with Rietumu via Skype is safe and secure”, says Ruslan Stecyuk, First Vice-president of Rietumu.

To call Rietumu via Skype, add a new contact “Rietumu.Info” in your Contact list. If you have not yet downloaded Skype to your PC, please go to Skype.com.


Skype calls are received by the Bank’s Customer Information Centre and then redirected to any internal phones.

In such a way, wherever you are, you can get in touch via Skype with your Personal Manager or any other bank staff; receive pieces of advice or the required assistance.
