The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) closed Green Bank for money laundering.


Over the past two years, 20 billion UAH has passed through the bank.
The National Bank has decided to withdraw Green Bank, which is linked to former Revenue Minister Oleksandr Klimenko, from the market for money laundering.

According to a statement from the NBU press service, over the past three years, Green Bank has repeatedly violated anti-money laundering laws and engaged in risky activities, ignoring the interests of its clients and creditors.

In total, during 2013-2014, Green Bank conducted financial transactions to transfer funds into cash for a total of approximately UAH 20 billion.

"Today's move demonstrates to the market that the regulator will continue to respond harshly to banks engaging in significant risky transactions that may indicate the bank's deliberate misuse. I am confident that the banking community will welcome the actions of the National Bank of Ukraine," said Oleksandr Pysaruk, First Deputy Governor of the NBU.

Let's remember that last year, Green Bank became the fastest-growing bank in Ukraine, with the exception of Serhiy Kurchenko's now-bankrupt Real Bank.
