Oschadbank has made foreign currency transactions abroad free of charge

State-owned Oschadbank has canceled the 1% conversion fee on transactions with its cards abroad, the bank’s CEO Sergey Naumov said.

“It has become even more favorable to use our payment means in other countries,” he wrote in Telegram.

Naumov added that the bank also automatically extended until December 31 the validity of cards that were to expire after February 2022, including cards for internally displaced persons.

“These cards are fully functional: you can pay with them in the trade and service network, withdraw cash from them at ATMs and the like,” – specified the head of the Board.

The previous time Oschadbank extended the validity of cards for three months at the end of May.

As indicated by the National Bank in the report for 2022, the leaders in Ukraine in the issuance of payment cards are state-owned PrivatBank and Oschadbank – respectively 43.8% and 15.4%, as well as Universal Bank (mono) – 13.2%.

In general, according to the NBU data, in 2022 the total number of issued payment cards in Ukraine increased by 23.2% – from 89.1 million pcs to 109.8 million pcs, while a year earlier – by 21.3%.

At the same time, the total number of active bank cards, after reaching a historic high of 47.2m units at the end of March this year, decreased by 0.6m units, or 1.3%, to 46.6m units in April-June, according to the National Bank.

Oschadbank has doubled number of agro-clients since beginning of 2022

Oschadbank has increased the loan portfolio of the agribusiness and agricultural trade sector by 91% since the beginning of 2022 and doubled the number of clients, the state bank said on Wednesday.

“As of today, Oschadbank occupies about 14% of the market of working loans of the agrarian sector,” the press release said.

According to Yuriy Katsion, deputy head of the bank’s board responsible for corporate business, such a rapid increase is caused by the objective need of businesses to attract external financing, which is related to losses caused by the war and the unpreparedness of many commercial banks and international organizations, unlike the state bank, to lend during the war without insurance guarantees.

Katsion also stressed the importance of state support for the agricultural sector during a full-scale war, particularly through the introduction of state guarantees, the “Affordable Loans 5-7-9%” program, and support for exporters through ECAs.

According to Oschadbank, the agribusiness sector leads in lending from the banking sector: the volume of working loans as of April 1, 2023 exceeds UAH 144 billion, or 31.2% of the total loan portfolio. Wholesale trade (21.6%) and energy (10.5%) follow.

According to the National Bank of Ukraine, as of June 1, 2023, Oschadbank ranked 2nd in terms of assets (UAH 313.65 billion) among 65 banks operating in the country, and as of midtin this year had the largest number of branches in the country – 1183.

Oschadbank finished last year with net profit of UAH 690 mln

Oschadbank’s net profit at the end of 2022 is 690 million UAH compared with 1,054 million UAH in 2021, such preliminary data, which can be clarified by the results of annual adjustments and external audit, said the head of the bank’s management board Sergei Naumov.
“In the super-heavy conditions of martial law Oschadbank was able to maintain profitability. This allows us to keep capital at a sufficient level and gives prospects for the payment of dividends to the state,” he wrote in Telegram on Monday.
Naumov specified that compared to 2021, operating income for 2022 increased by 1.6 billion UAH – to 21.7 billion UAH, interest income increased by 1.1 billion UAH – to 22.4 billion UAH, while interest expenses decreased by 0.4 billion UAH – to 7.5 billion UAH.
He added that there was also an increase in net non-interest income – by UAH 0.8 billion to UAH 7.6 billion.
According to the head of the board, the results of Oschadbank had a positive impact on the revaluation of financial instruments in the amount of UAH 4.8 billion because of the presence of securities in his portfolio with indexed value.
Naumov noted that in assessing the risks the bank always adheres to a conservative position, so the bank formed additional reserves of 12.1 billion UAH, which is 4.3 times more than in 2021, because there were weighted possible losses in the reporting year due to the deterioration of the loan portfolio quality, caused by an active war.
Head of the Board also recalled that in 2022 Oschadbank became a member of the Deposit Guarantee Fund, paying 777 million UAH contributions, which also respectively decreased the annual profit compared with the previous year.
Oschadbank was founded in 1991. Its sole owner is the state. According to statistics from the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), on December 1, 2022, Oschadbank was in second place (282.828 billion UAH) among the 67 operating banks in the country by total assets.
