Midsized lender Tinkoff Credit Systems plans to raise around $200 million in a three-year eurobond issue, guiding investors towards a yield of up to 11 percent, a banking source said Wednesday.
The deal is being arranged by Citigroup, JPMorgan and Alfa Bank.
Tinkoff did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the deal.
TCS, which operates online without its own branches and has a focus on credit cards, is controlled by its founder Oleg Tinkov, who holds a 63.2 percent stake. The rest is split between private equity firms Vostok Nafta and Baring Vostok, along with Goldman Sachs and TCS's management.
In April 2011, TCS, ranked among Russia's top 120 banks by assets, raised $175 million via a three-year eurobond carrying an 11.5 percent coupon.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
