NBU Fined Financial Company “Groovey” 799,000 UAH

In July 2026, the National Bank of Ukraine fined FC “Groovey” LLC 799,000 UAH for violations of financial monitoring legislation. According to the NBU, the company failed to properly update its internal documents on the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing and had shortcomings in its customer verification procedures.

The regulator also identified violations of requirements for storing documents and information on customers and financial transactions—which must be retained for at least five years—as well as the incomplete provision of information requested by the NBU. Certain violations concerned data on the classification of customers by risk level and statistical reporting on financial monitoring.

The fine imposed on “Growway” was the largest among the sanctions imposed by the NBU in July on non-bank financial institutions.

FC “Growway” LLC was registered in August 2018 in Kyiv. The company specializes, among other things, in financing enterprises in the pharmaceutical and medical industries, as well as suppliers of medical equipment, medications, and services. Kira Gorbik serves as the company’s director. Its main activities involve the provision of financial services and lending.
