In May, the National Bank received 323 requests from non-banking market participants for registration and licensing activities, 80 of them from the insurers.
As it was reported, in May the National Bank of Ukraine excluded “IC Unipolis” PJSC and “IC Speir” ALC (both in Kiev) and “IC Rik-Avtogarant” ALC (Lviv) from the State register of financial institutions due to the decision on the cancellation of all existing licenses. Also JSC “PROSTO-insurance” (Kiev) has been excluded due to cancellation of all previously available licenses due to non-compliance of insurer ownership structure with legislative requirements, and UJSIC “ASKA” (Zaporozhye) due to completion of accession to IC “VUSO”.
Besides, according to its application Insurance Advisors LLC is excluded from the State register of insurance and reinsurance brokers.
