Innovation and New Leadership at Sens Bank

Innovation in action

In the nationalized Sens Bank, a new composition of members of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board began its work.

About it says in the message of Sens Bank.

The bank’s management was appointed by the Deposit Guarantee Fund on the proposal of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine and approved by the National Bank of Ukraine.

From now on, the Supervisory Board of Sense Bank consists of five members: two state representatives and three independent members.

Adjuner Shevki, who headed the EBRD office in Ukraine in 2013-2018, has been appointed head of the Supervisory Board. After that, he served on the supervisory boards of a number of state-owned companies, in particular, Ukrzaliznytsia.

Shevki Ajuner was also the chairman of the supervisory board of Sberbank, but in 2019 the NBU made a decision that did not agree on his reappointment to the bank’s supervisory board. The National Bank explained their decision, in particular, by a conflict of interest, because Ajuner was on the supervisory boards of both Oschadbank and the clients of this bank (Ukrenergo and Ukrzaliznytsia).

Adjuner appealed his disagreement to the supervisory board of Oschadbank in court. Eventually, in May 2021, the Supreme Court ruled in his favor.

Also, the Supervisory Board of Sens Bank included:

Andrey Pronchenko is a member of the Supervisory Board (independent). Pronchenko – Managing Partner of PwC Legal Ukraine; Rostyslav Dyuk – Member of the Supervisory Board (independent) – Chairman of the Board of the Ukrainian Association of Fintech and Innovative Companies; Andrey Svistun is a member of the Supervisory Board. Since August 2014, Svistun has been working as the head of the department for state participation in the capitalization of banks of the Financial Policy Department of the Ministry of Finance. Also in May 2022, Svistun was appointed a member of the Supervisory Board at Ukrgasbank; Vladislav Vlasyuk – Member of the Supervisory Board, Secretary of the working group on sanctions against Russia.

The composition of the Board of Sens Bank has also become known. Dmitry Kuzmin, the former head of the board of Universal Bank, became the chairman. In this position, he worked for only a few months in 2016, before the purchase of the bank by Sergei Tigipko. After that, Kuzmin took part in various competitions, including for the position of Deputy Chairman of the Guarantee Fund, and before that, in various positions at Universal Bank.

The following positions have been approved as members of the Board:

Elena Zubchenko – Deputy Chairman of the Board. A person with this name is a member of the Supervisory Board of the State Mortgage Institution and Director of the Financial Policy Department of the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine. Alexey Shklyaruk – Member of the Management Board, Chief Risk Manager. According to Bankchart, he has been a member of the board of Agroprosperis Bank since 2016. Inna Tyutyun is a member of the Management Board. Inni is the Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Ukrainian Association of Fintech and Innovative Companies. Andrey Sokolov – Member of the Management Board. According to LinkedIn, since the end of 2017 he has been working at Yuzhny Bank, including since April 2020 as Deputy Chairman of the Corporate Business Department.

“Now our main task is to continue the sustainable development of one of the country’s high-tech banks,” said Dmitry Kuzmin, Chairman of the Board of Sense Bank.

Reminder:

Law enforcers exposed a scheme according to which Russian oligarchs, the former owners of one of the largest Ukrainian banks, wanted to transfer its billion-dollar assets abroad.

On July 22, 2023, the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine and the Deposit Guarantee Fund entered into an agreement for the sale of 100% of the shares of the systemically important Sense Bank, according to which the bank became the property of the state.

Sense Bank is a state-owned bank, one of the systemically important banks in Ukraine with 132 branches throughout Ukraine. The financial institution serves about 3 million individuals, 58 thousand legal entities and 86 thousand sole proprietors. The bank employs about 4 thousand employees.
