YEREVAN, October 6. \/ARKA\/.<\/strong>\u00a0The AGBU Global Run for Camp Nairi brought together more than 1,500 participants across 22 cities and raised $500,000 to support children and families affected by war and displacement. Unibank (Armenia) supported the international fundraising initiative as\u00a0the\u00a0Lead Sponsor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Global Run began in Yerevan and continued around the world, with participants joining in Barcelona, Brussels, London, Los Angeles, New York, Nice, Paris, Shanghai, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto, Zurich and other cities.

\u201cThanks to partners like Unibank, children will have the opportunity to step away from the uncertainty and hardship they have experienced and enter an environment designed to restore joy, build resilience and foster a sense of belonging. What began as a summer camp has, through the generosity of our supporters, grown into a year-round model of healing and community. For many, Camp Nairi is a special place where they can simply be kids again,\u201d said Karen Papazian, Director of Development and Outreach at AGBU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Unibank, supporting the Global Run is part of a broader commitment to the communities it serves. The Bank provides services to more than 30% of Armenia\u2019s bankable population. This year, Unibank celebrates its 25th anniversary, marking a quarter-century of growth, innovation and trust. Over that period, it has grown into one of Armenia\u2019s leading financial institutions, offering a comprehensive range of retail and corporate banking services, as well as Private Banking solutions. Its role extends beyond financial services \u2014 an approach reflected in its tagline \u201cBanking and more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA bank\u2019s strength should be measured not only by its financial performance, but also by the value it creates for the society. We believe we have a responsibility to invest in both the country\u2019s economy and its communities. Supporting AGBU\u2019s initiative reflects what \u2018Banking and more\u2019 means to us in practice: being there when our communities need us and using our reach to make a meaningful change,\u201d said Gagik Zakaryan, Chairman of the Board of Unibank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unibank\u2019s commitment to creating opportunities is also reflected in its role in developing of Armenia\u2019s capital market. In 2015, it became the first bank in Armenia to conduct an IPO, giving individuals and companies the opportunity to become shareholders and participate in the Bank\u2019s growth. Since then, Unibank has conducted 10 share issues. Compared with last year, its investor base has grown by 60%, reflecting broader participation in the Bank\u2019s development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unibank\u2019s shares are listed on the Armenia Stock Exchange (AMX), giving individual and institutional investors access to the Bank\u2019s equity. Since the IPO, the share price has risen by approximately 70%. Over the past three years, annual dividend yields on its shares have been in the 10\u201312% range. The Bank\u2019s return on equity stands at 20%, while earnings per share have doubled compared with the last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside its financial activities, Unibank continues to support education, youth development, sports and other socially significant initiatives in Armenia and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
