Banks are increasingly suing their debtors. According to the State Judicial Administration of Ukraine, a record 100,000 lawsuits were filed by Ukrainian banks this year. This is almost 1.5 times more than in the same period last year. In total, more than half a million lawsuits against debtors have been filed by banks over the past 7 years. Universal Bank (Mono), Privat and A-Bank account for 70% of the claims.

100,434 lawsuits against debtors were filed by Ukrainian banks. This is 1.5 times more than in the same period last year and a record for the last 7 years. A total of 511,865 lawsuits have been filed by banks since 2019.

Universal Bank/Mono (28,213 claims), A-Bank (22,221), and Privat (20,278) accounted for more than 70% of all claims this year. FUIB (9 , 225) and Sense Bank (6,831) are far behind.

In general, over the past 7 years, Privatbank has remained the unchanged leader in lawsuits against debtors – 191,353 lawsuits. It is followed by Universal Bank (115,702), A-Bank (60,421), Sense Bank (25,283) and FUIB (21,476).

TASKOMBANK saw the largest increase in the number of claims this year, up 3.5 times. PrivatBank (1.8 times), Kredobank (1.7 times), Accent Bank (1.6 times), and Sens Bank (1.6 times) also saw a significant increase.

At the same time, many banks have significantly reduced the number of court appeals. Unex Bank (4 times), Credit Agricole (2 times) and Ukrgasbank (2 times) showed the biggest drop.

It is worth noting that the ranking of the most “litigious” banks has been updated this year. New players entered the top – Radabank and Bank Alliance, which were not on the list last year. Instead, Accordbank and Unex Bank dropped out of the top twenty.
