According to a report from the Deposit Guarantee Fund for Individuals, the latter recommended that the NBU liquidate the insolvent AktaBank.
In particular, it is reported that the Fund approached the NBU with a proposal to revoke the banking license and liquidate Dnipropetrovsk-based Aktabank.
On September 17, 2014, AktaBank was placed under temporary administration. Yulia Prikhodko, a leading expert in bank insolvency resolution matters in the department for implementing the temporary administration procedure and liquidating the bank insolvency resolution department, was appointed authorized representative of the temporary administration.
According to the Deposit Guarantee Fund's estimates, the amount of funds eligible for reimbursement by the Fund as of September 11 was UAH 605,13 million. The volume of individual deposits as of September 17 was UAH 565,8 million, and the volume of individual current account funds was UAH 110,05 million.
It was also reported that payments of the guaranteed compensation amount to bank depositors through Mikhailovsky Bank branches will be suspended starting January 15. The Deposit Guarantee Fund for Individuals clarifies that payments will resume no later than seven days after the decision to liquidate the bank is made.
As a reminder, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) named AktaBank as the financial institution most involved in money laundering between 2012 and 2014. By Resolution No. 576, the NBU classified AktaBank as insolvent. FinMaidan reports that it learned from reliable sources that Dnipropetrovsk-based AktaBank cashed out foreign currency through individual accounts totaling 65 billion hryvnias over more than two years. Moreover, during Arbuzov's tenure as NBU president, repeated inspections of AktaBank by the National Bank revealed no money laundering violations.
As of August 27, 2014, 5% of AktaBank's shares belonged to Artur Ermolaev , Ukraine's most secretive oligarch. His grandmother, Svetlana Ermolaeva, owns approximately 70% of the shares through trustees and Cypriot and Ukrainian companies.
