What kind of banks: reference
PSC PROMINVESTBANK
One of the oldest banks in Ukraine, founded in 1992. For a long time, it was among the TOP-10 largest banks in the country and specialized in lending to industry. Since 2009, it has been under the control of the Russian state bank VEB. In 2014, Prominvestbank was subject to sanctions and its operations were gradually curtailed. In 2022, the NBU decided to liquidate the bank as belonging to the aggressor state.
PJSC “KSG BANK”
The bank was founded in 2006 under the name Kreditprombank, later renamed to KCG Bank and specialized in servicing the agricultural sector. In recent years, prior to liquidation, it was involved in investigations into questionable lending and non-compliance with NBU regulations. It lost its solvency and was withdrawn from the market in 2021.
MR BANK JSC
This is the Ukrainian subsidiary of Sberbank of Russia. Initially, it operated under the Delta Bank brand, and later as the International Reserve Bank (MR Bank). In 2022, after the imposition of sanctions against Russia, the bank was nationalized and subsequently liquidated. Previously, the bank served corporate clients and partially the public.
JSC “IBOX BANK”
A bank that specialized in electronic payment services and had a powerful network of terminals. In recent years, it has been actively working with cryptocurrency exchanges and online payment services. In 2023, the National Bank revoked its license due to systemic violations of financial monitoring. AyboksBank became the first bank in Ukraine to suffer from new requirements for controlling the circulation of cryptocurrencies.
BANK SICH JSC
A small bank working mainly with the corporate segment. It was founded in 2011. In 2022, it lost its solvency. During the martial law period, the bank failed to fulfill its obligations to customers, which led the NBU to declare it insolvent. It had no scandals, but was a weak link from a financial point of view.
JSC “BANK FORWARD”
Formerly known as Russian Standard. The bank is known for its active consumer lending in the 2000s, especially through home appliance stores. In 2014, it distanced itself from Russian capital and renamed itself Forward. After several restructuring attempts, the bank went bankrupt, and the DGF began its liquidation in 2023.
The auctions are held on the Prozorro.Sale platform. Anyone can join the auction. Details are available on the DGF website.
