The NBU revoked the license of one financial company and ordered three others to rectify violations

The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) revoked the operating license of the financial company Vostok Finance LLC and imposed sanctions on Profit Finance LLC, Forward Finance FC LLC, and Growey FC LLC.

According to information on the regulator’s website, Vostok Finance LLC lost its license for factoring and providing funds and bank metals on credit after effectively preventing the regulator from conducting an unscheduled inspection.

In February and March, the National Bank took steps to conduct an inspection of the company; however, the inspection team was not provided with documents or information regarding the subject of the inspection, which made it impossible to carry out the inspection.

As of May 11, 2026, the company is prohibited from providing financial services, entering into new contracts, extending existing ones, or increasing obligations under them; however, the revocation of the license does not exempt it from fulfilling existing contracts.

The basis for imposing this enforcement measure on Profit Finance LLC was the company’s failure to provide, within the established deadlines, information, explanations, documents, or copies thereof at the request of the National Bank.

The company must remedy the violations and bring its activities into compliance with the law by June 2, 2026.

According to the regulator, LLC “FC Forward Finance” and LLC “FC Growway” violated the requirements regarding confirmation of the sources of the increase in authorized capital, as a result of which their activities did not meet the requirements for the provision of financial services.

In this regard, the central bank ordered the companies to rectify the violations and bring their operations into compliance with the law by June 8, 2026.

The decision regarding all four companies was adopted by the Committee on Supervision and Regulation of Non-Bank Financial Services Markets on May 11, 2026.
