Status as of Oct 12, 2026. See the full list of sites hit by the outage.
Sravni’s own Telegram channel
We did not find a Telegram channel run by Sravni itself among public channels with 10K+ subscribers. Any channel that uses the name is not confirmed by us: check it with the guide to fake brand channels before you trust it.
Why Telegram works here
There is no single comparison channel, but almost every Russian bank posts its rates, cashback categories and promotions on Telegram, and banking news channels report rate changes across banks.
A channel offering “guaranteed” deposit rates far above the market is not a bank; check the bank’s own channel.
