The court has banned the liquidation of the Financial Initiative bank.

courtThe Kyiv Commercial Court has issued a ruling prohibiting the Deposit Guarantee Fund from making a decision to liquidate Financial Initiative Bank. This was reported by UN, citing a court ruling dated October 15, 2015.

The lawsuit in this case was filed by a potential investor in the financial institution, the Cypriot company Perusta Constructions. On July 14, 2015, the Cypriot offshore company submitted an application to the Deposit Guarantee Fund to participate in the tender to select the bank's investor and contributed UAH 40 million as a guarantee deposit.

In September 2015, the National Bank acquired 100% of the shares of Financial Initiative Bank and denied Perusta Constructions' request to establish a transitional financial institution on its basis. The company submitted a new proposal to the Deposit Guarantee Fund (DGF) to purchase Financial Initiative Bank for UAH 31 million to participate in its liquidation. However, on October 1, 2015, the Fund disqualified the Cyprus offshore company from participating in the tender. Perusta Constructions then filed a lawsuit against the DGF.

As a reminder, Financial Initiative Bank was classified as distressed on June 23, 2015, and temporary administration was appointed on June 24. The financial institution was among the 20 largest Ukrainian banks (with assets exceeding UAH 19 billion). The bank's shares are wholly owned by Oleg Bakhmatyuk.
