AraratBank’s Special Offer at Leasing Expo Attracts Strong Customer Interest

With hundreds of visitors and strong interest in energy-efficient equipment leasing at the three-day Leasing Expo 2026 held at the Meridian Expo Center, the pavilion of AraratBank’s pavilion drew the attention of both potential and existing customers. AraratBank offered leasing for renewable energy sources and energy-efficient equipment under attractive terms.  

“Leasing solutions are provided within the framework of the Renewable Energy Development Program, supporting the construction, expansion, and modernization of solar stations and other power generation facilities. The offer includes AMD-denominated leasing starting from 8.9%, which, following subsidization, is reduced to as low as 0.9%,” noted Edgar Avagyan, Head of the Leasing Operations Division at AraratBank.

During the Expo, AraratBank’s leasing experts provided consultations on EU-funded Leasing with Cashback and Renewable Energy Development Leasing programs, and answered questions related to financial leasing. 

A special offer on preferential terms was also introduced for displaced persons from Artsakh, aiming to facilitate business growth while fostering employment opportunities.

A beneficiary of the initiative, Alyosha Zakaryan from Artsakh, is a beekeeper with around 10 years of experience who is looking to expand his business. 

“We are cooperating with AraratBank under the EBRD program to purchase beekeeping equipment. Although this is my first time working with AraratBank, the process has been very smooth and straightforward. We were able to complete all arrangements quickly and without difficulty,” he said.

“Within the framework of the EU4Business program, credit and leasing facilities are available to businesses engaged in manufacturing, service provision, and agriculture. Eligible leasing assets include vehicles, solar panels, batteries, devices, and equipment. The program also finances green construction projects, with the exception of multi-apartment residential buildings,” noted Anna Atovmyan, Advisor to the Deputy CEO on Sustainable Financial Development at AraratBank.

AraratBank is regulated by the Central Bank of Armenia.
