PRESS RELEASE
In January - June 2026, the total amount of claims satisfied for creditors of banks being liquidated by the Deposit Guarantee Fund (hereinafter – the DGF) amounted to UAH 2,964.8 million.
Of these funds, more than UAH 1,048.1 million was transferred by JSC “MR Bank” (JSC "MIZHNARODNYI REZERVNYI BANK", formerly "Sberbank") to the state, represented by the State Enterprise “National Investment Fund of Ukraine,” as a creditor of the ninth tier*. In total, since the start of the full-scale invasion, JSC “MR Bank” has transferred more than UAH 3,293.7 million to the state budget.
Approximately one billion – UAH 973.4 million – was received by the creditors of the seventh tier which includes the legal entities that are not affiliated with the bank.
“The creditors of banks undergoing liquidation include both the state and businesses. Therefore, each successful debt collection and asset sale results in the return of resources to their intended use – promoting economic development, supporting businesses, and enabling the state to fulfill its functions ,” noted Olga Bilai, Managing Director of the DGF.
Over the past 6 months, an additional UAH 148.9 million was allocated to satisfy claims in the third tier. This included covering the DGF’s expenses for paying guaranteed reimbursement to depositors, as defined by the Law of Ukraine «On Household Deposit Guarantee Scheme». The remaining funds were paid to creditors of other tiers.
In total, since the DGF has been established and as of July 1, 2026, banks being in liquidation have satisfied creditors’ claims in the amount of UAH 77.7 billion. Of this amount approximately UAH 18.0 billion has been repaid to secured creditors, including UAH 16.7 billion to the National Bank of Ukraine through the foreclosure of collateral and the assets of guarantors.
The claims of creditors of banks being liquidated by the DGF are satisfied through the sale and management of these banks’ assets. Specifically, this is achieved through loan repayments, income from securities, property lease, and other sources.
*In accordance with a decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine the DGF replaced the “parent” entities of the Russian banks PJSC “PROMINVESTBANK” and JSC “MR BANK” in the register of creditors with the State of Ukraine in May 2022. Consequently the state is now both a creditor of the ninth tier and a shareholder of these banks.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the DGF has transferred to the state shares in the subsidiaries of Russian state-owned banks in Ukraine worth over UAH 27 billion.
