10 August , 2025  

The National Bank of Ukraine fined Industrialbank 400,000 hryvnia and six non-bank financial institutions for violating currency legislation in July 2025 for violating legislation in the field of preventing and combating the legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime, financing terrorism, and financing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (AML/CFT). In July 2025, the NBU fined Industrialbank UAH 400,000 and six non-bank financial institutions, and issued a warning to Ukrposhta.

As noted in a release on the central bank’s website, the largest fine—UAH 9,632,850—was imposed on Lineura Ukraine LLC (TM Credit 7), which ranked sixth among non-bank financial institutions in the market with income from financial services of UAH 470.7 million in the first quarter of this year.

The fine imposed on FC Mare LLC amounted to UAH 595 thousand, and on FC Midl LLC, which recently had its license revoked by the National Bank, UAH 340 thousand.

In addition, ProfitGuide LLC was fined UAH 170,000, and Miloan LLC was fined UAH 51,000.

As for Ukrposhta, it received a written warning for violating requirements regarding the improper development and implementation of internal documents in the field of AML/CFT, as well as the lack of procedures sufficient to ensure effective risk management.

As reported on Friday by Forbes Ukraine, the National Bank notified the government of the need to recapitalize Ukrposhta by approximately UAH 820 million, without which the national postal operator will not only be unable to launch a postal bank, but may also lose its license to provide financial services.
