UniBank is the first private bank in Azerbaijan to be in receipt of a trade financing facility from the BSTDB. The BSTDB extended the no-fixed-period revolver credit line to the Bank for promotion of the trading relations with the BSTDB Member-States.

The BSTDB credit line may be utilised towards the costs of export and import operations constituting one of the most important elements of the efficient economic growth promotion. The relevant agreement was signed on 28 November 2005 and that the on-lending has started so rapidly is of extreme importance to us, noted Faig Huseynov, Chairman of the Executive Board of UniBank.
