Last week, Oschadbank officially opened its first business hub, Oschadbiznes, in Kyiv and declared it a flagship space for micro, small, and medium-sized businesses (MSMEs).
“Ukrainian businesses need not only loans, but also an environment where ideas, partnerships, and scaling are born. That is why we have created the Oschadbusiness hub, which combines financing, knowledge, and opportunities,” said Serhiy Naumov, chairman of the board of Oschadbank.
The bank noted that the space also provides for educational and business events and has a place for networking.
In turn, Natalia Butkova-Vitvitskaya, a member of the board responsible for SMEs, noted that the hub will operate on a “single window” principle and will become a platform for consultations, participation in grant and partnership programs, as well as access to credit products.
“Next year, the bank plans to expand the Oschadbiznes hub network beyond the capital,” she said, without specifying the number of hubs.
The new branch is located at 26/14 Spaska Street and also includes a premium customer service area.
Oschadbank is the leader in Ukraine in terms of the number of branches—1,142—although in the third quarter, it reduced its network by five branches.
According to Oschadbank, its SME loan portfolio tripled between 2022 and 2025. State grants were received by 25,000 bank customers, and international financial organizations (IFOs) provided approximately UAH 1.5 billion in support. About 20% of the funding was directed to businesses in frontline regions, and half of the customers took advantage of IFO and government guarantee instruments.
As reported, in October 2025, the corporate segment’s loan portfolio grew by 2.6%, or UAH 26.9 billion, to UAH 970.1 billion. Hryvnia loans to businesses added 1.7%, or UAH 11.5 billion, reaching UAH 689.7 billion, while foreign currency loans increased by 4.2%, or $267 million, to $6.68 billion.
According to the National Bank, as of October 1 this year, Oschadbank, with total assets of UAH 485.81 billion, ranked second among 60 banks in Ukraine in terms of this indicator.
