The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has revoked the license of insurance company “Professional Insurance” (Kyiv) to conduct insurance activities due to violations of licensing requirements.
According to the NBU website, the board’s decision to revoke the license was made on December 30, 2025, and came into effect on the same day after its publication.
From the date of entry into force of the decision, the insurer loses the right to conclude insurance contracts and extend the term of existing contracts, as well as to conclude new contracts or make changes to existing ones that lead to an increase in obligations to clients for the relevant classes of insurance.
Earlier that day, the National Bank refused to allow IC “Professional Insurance” to conclude written agreements on measures to eliminate previously identified violations of the requirements for the authorization of financial service providers and the conditions for their activities. The regulator explained its refusal by saying that such agreements do not provide sufficient confidence in the timely and complete elimination of this violation.
In its decision, the NBU called the insurance company’s registration in August 2024 of an increase in its authorized capital from UAH 8 million to UAH 48 million without obtaining the regulator’s consent a violation. The document states that the owners of Professional Insurance, Roman Kuzmenko and Yevgen Vasilenko, bought domestic government bonds, then sold these bonds to other insurers, and used the proceeds to increase the authorized capital. However, the National Bank recognized that the sources of the funds were not confirmed and therefore refused to approve both the increase in the authorized capital and its reduction back to UAH 8 million due to a violation of prudential requirements.
The company’s attempts at the end of 2025 to reach an agreement with the National Bank on the conclusion of written agreements were unsuccessful.
Professional Insurance Insurance Company was established in 2007 and has 44 licenses to conduct insurance activities.
According to YouControl, the company’s net earned insurance premiums for the first nine months of this year amounted to UAH 2.4 million, compared to UAH 0.71 million for the same period in 2024, and net profit amounted to UAH 4.80 million, compared to UAH 0.93 million.
