Rockettbank does not have a license. He works on the basis of Interkommerts Bank, which issues and services his cards.
The target audience of the application is young people aged 25–35 years. The bank was established by Oleg Kozyrev, Viktor Lysenko, Alexey Kolesnikov and Mikhail Provision. The Rocketbank project was initially developed with the money of the founders themselves, later they attracted funds from the Runa Capital fund and the Life.Sreda fund. Runa Capital invested $ 2-3 million in exchange for a 20-30% stake in the Rocketbank project.
Roketbank co-founder Alexei Kolesnikov regarded Tinkoff's offer as a farce or a prelude to a conversation. “We are always ready to discuss business proposals. But a million is at best for warming up. If Tinkov offers 20-25 times more, then we can seriously discuss it, ”he said.
“The development of such an application is worth about $ 1 million. Rocket Bank is a shell that is tied to bank services. It is impossible to simply take and transplant it to another credit institution. And legally, clients belong to Interkommerts Bank, and they cannot simply be taken and transferred automatically to another bank. We need to renegotiate with people, send couriers. Roketbank does not have its own reporting, but there are no huge changes in the balance sheets of Interkommerts during the time that the application works, ”German Klimenko, chairman of the board of the Internet Development Institute, shared his thoughts with RBC.
“In our opinion from the inside, the potential of its development is far from being exhausted,” says Denis Khrenov, senior vice president of Interkommerts Bank.
Roketbank co-founder, Oleg Kozyrev, denied that the project was looking for buyers, but noted: “If Oleg Yuryevich wants to get to know us all, our office is always open. If he also wants to offer something, then there is no problem to talk on this topic. ”

“If the guys from Rocketbank have a good offer to buy, I would sell (this is just my opinion as an investor) and take profits (I don’t believe in unicorn in Russia in the medium term). And Oleg always throws mud at something that he cannot get himself, ”says Life.Sreda Fund Managing Partner Vladislav Solodky.
