The sustainable development of the financial services market and strengthening customer confidence were the central themes of the first inaugural meeting of the National Bank with representatives of 52 institutions that received significant status in January 2026.
The meeting was attended by NBU Governor Andriy Pyshnyy, First Deputy Governor Serhiy Nikolaychuk, Deputy Governor Dmytro Oliynyk, and directors of the regulator’s specialized departments.
The parties discussed the state of the non-bank financial institutions market, updated prudential requirements, and the introduction of risk-based supervision. Particular attention was paid to issues of corporate governance, strengthening internal control and audit, as well as bringing the activities of companies into line with new regulatory standards.
“The consolidation of the consumer lending market has confirmed the course towards institutionalization, self-regulation, and the implementation of European standards of responsible lending. We support digital integration with state registries and the synchronization of legislation as the basis for the stability of the sector,” said Oleksandr Kholod, Chairman of the Consumer Credit Market Association Council and Director of ShvidkoGroshi.
A separate part of the discussion focused on consumer protection and the development of financial inclusion, in particular support for military personnel and veterans.
“The market is maturing and forming a consolidated position on the development of Ukraine’s financial sector in partnership with the regulator,” emphasized Oleksandr Kholod.
The parties agreed to continue regular meetings to support open professional dialogue and joint development of a transparent and sustainable financial services market.
