The Association of Ukrainian Banks and the Association of Private Enforcement Agents of Ukraine are strengthening their cooperation in the areas of enforcement of court decisions, banking activities, and financial legal relations. On August 17, 2026, the parties signed a Memorandum outlining the main areas of their joint work.

The signing of the Memorandum lays the foundation for systematic professional cooperation between the banking sector and the community of private enforcement agents, joint work on legislative initiatives, and the improvement of mechanisms for enforcing court decisions and protecting the lawful rights and interests of participants in financial legal relationships.
After signing the document, representatives of the Association of Ukrainian Banks presented Oksana Rusetska with a commemorative coin from the Association of Ukrainian Banks and a plaque titled “Courage”—featuring a fragment of an armored cash transport vehicle that saved lives on the front lines at the start of the full-scale invasion.
