The National Bank of Ukraine fined “FC Royal Finance 1” LLC 391,000 UAH for a series of violations of financial monitoring laws.

According to the NBU, the violations involved the untimely updating of the company’s internal documents, the performance of the employee responsible for financial monitoring, and the improper application of a risk-based approach.

The regulator also pointed out violations in the preparation of statistical reports, the incomplete provision of requested information and documents, as well as shortcomings in providing an up-to-date list of clients with their assigned risk levels.

LLC “FC ‘Royal Finance 1’” was registered in Kyiv in July 2019. The company received financial institution status in November of that same year. In January 2025, at the company’s request, the NBU excluded financial leasing from its license, after which it retained the right to provide loans and factoring services. The company’s director is Vitaliy Lysenko, and “Finance Royal Invest” LLC is listed as the holder of a significant stake.
