State-owned Ukreximbank is the first in the Ukrainian market to conduct a public sale of pledged property – jewelry made of precious metals and gems – through the OpenMarket electronic trading system (SE SETAM of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine).
Unique nature of the sale
For a long period of time, the sale of pledged gold jewelry was complicated due to the lack of clear procedures that would allow the sale of jewelry at public auctions. Until 2022, jewelry was redeemed in favor of the state through the State Storage of Precious Metals, but due to a lack of funds in the budget, this process was “frozen”.
In 2022, a new Procedure for the Sale of Jewelry and Other Household Items Made of Precious Metals in the Course of Enforcement of Court Decisions and Decisions of Other Authorities was adopted. The Procedure, approved in February 2022, provides for a number of examinations prior to public bidding to determine the metal sample, determine the characteristics of gemstone inserts, etc.
Ukreximbank is the first bank in Ukraine to carry out all the necessary procedures for the sale of jewelry within the framework of enforcement proceedings, involving the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine and the Central State Assay Control Enterprise.
Thus, within the framework of the enforcement proceedings initiated in accordance with the requirements of the court decision on debt collection in favor of Ukreximbank, for the first time, a lengthy and extremely complicated procedure was completed from the preparation of the act of inventory and seizure of the debtor’s property, namely, jewelry made of precious metals and precious stones to the publication of the relevant announcements on the platform of the electronic system of SE SETAM on the date of the scheduled electronic auction.
The procedure for obtaining the statutory expertise is regulated and complex, but the coordination of the actions of the recoverer and the state enforcement officer made it possible to complete it in the shortest possible time. The property appraisal report, on the basis of which the starting price of the property put up for sale was formed, received by the state enforcement officer, contains references to
– an act of examination of valuables that have been accepted by the Central State Assay Control Enterprise;
– the act of the results of the examination of jewelry by an employee of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine;
– the act of gemological examination of inserts.
Also, this is one of the rare cases when the Bank manages to successfully foreclose on such type of collateral as goods in circulation, usually when the borrower is recognized as a problematic borrower and the goods are no longer available.

The service is free of charge, and it is easy and convenient to use, said Oleg Klymenko, member of the Management Board responsible for retail business development of OTP Bank.
“A new feature that our customers have been expecting from us has been added to the application. It is important for users, because with today’s fast pace of life, there is often a need to pay for a TV package here and now, right before watching. Or you need to get access to the Internet urgently, and you need to pay the bill. We always try to learn as much as we can about our customers’ “pains” in order to offer the most useful solutions in our gentle mobile banking. Now we have the opportunity to pay utility bills in OTP Bank UA,” said Mr. Klymenko.
To use the new service, the customer needs to select a card, go to the “Payments” menu item, click on “Utilities and Internet”, then “Internet and TV payment”. In the search field, enter the name of the company. After that, the system will request a personal account, which is used to identify the service user. Finally, the customer needs to enter the amount and confirm the payment.
A repeat payment can be made in a few clicks: go to the payment history, click “Repeat payment”, enter the amount and confirm. You can find your payment history and get a receipt in the list of card transactions or in the “Utilities and Internet” section.
