NBU Revoked Licenses of Insurance Companies “ASKO DS” and “Peremoha”

The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) revoked the insurance operating licenses of PJSC “Insurance Company ‘ASKO DS’” (Kyiv) and PJSC “Insurance Company ‘Peremoha’” (Kyiv).

According to the regulator’s website, the reason for this decision regarding ASKO DS was the company’s failure to submit a business recovery plan and a financing plan to the NBU, as revealed by the results of off-site supervision of the company’s activities.

The business recovery plan was intended to ensure the insurer’s financial recovery and compliance with solvency capital requirements within no more than 180 days from the date the violation of such requirements was identified, while the financing plan was to be implemented within no more than 90 days. Failure to fulfill these obligations led to the National Bank’s repeated rejection of the insurer’s business recovery plan and financing plan.

As for IC “Peremoha,” the results of off-site supervision of the company’s activities revealed that the insurer was engaging in risky activities that threatened the interests of its policyholders and/or other creditors.

Evidence of such activities included the omission and misrepresentation in the insurer’s information systems of data contained in contracts and other source documents, on the basis of which reporting data for the relevant reporting period are calculated or generated. The extent of the omissions and distortions exceeded 10% of the reporting data and the data contained in the insurer’s information systems, and more than 20% of the minimum absolute value of the minimum capital.

The decisions to impose sanctions on ASKO-DS Insurance Company and Peremoha Insurance Company take effect on July 24, 2026. As of that date, the companies lose the right to enter into contracts or make changes (such as extending the terms of existing contracts) regarding the provision of insurance services.
ASKO-DS Insurance Company was registered in November 1991. It has been a member of the Motor (Transport) Insurance Bureau of Ukraine since 1994 and a member of the “Insurance Business” Association since 2015.

According to the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), the company ranks 30th among Ukraine’s non-life insurers in terms of premiums collected in 2025.
As previously reported, ASKO-DS Insurance Company (formerly Mir Insurance Company, Kyiv) was registered in 1992 and specializes in risk insurance.

According to the National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NSSMC), as of the first quarter of 2026, the shareholders of this insurance company were ABC Finance LLC—79.920% of the shares—and Anastasia Kolesnik—9%.
