Operating banks by universal or basic licence; count and share of 301 banks, 1 June 2026.
Russia’s 301 operating banks are divided between universal and basic licences at 1 June 2026. The two licence categories form a complete bank denominator and are measured as institution counts and shares. Universal-licence banks account for 70.4% of the total with 212 institutions, compared with 29.6% and 89 basic-licence banks. The same source lists 57 non-bank financial institutions, which sit outside the operating-bank licence denominator.
| Rank | Entry | Value | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Universal-licence banks | 70.4% | 1 June 2026 |
| 2 | Basic-licence banks | 29.6% | 1 June 2026 |

Evidence: Supports the 212 universal-licence banks, 89 basic-licence banks, 301-bank total and separate count of 57 non-bank financial institutions.
Licence type describes regulatory status, not bank size. The two bank categories sum to 301; non-bank financial institutions are a separate class and do not belong in the denominator.
The official counts for universal- and basic-licence banks are divided by the published total of 301 operating banks. The 57 non-bank financial institutions are preserved as an outside benchmark and are excluded from the licence composition.
Both composition segments and the denominator use one Bank of Russia banking-sector page, one 1 June 2026 reference date and institution counts.
