On Thursday, April 27, in an interview with the portal of the Ministry of Finance, said the deputy head of the National Bank of Ukraine Catherine Rozhkova. She also noted that of this number, 13 banks are critical, and all of them are mostly very small.

According to the deputy head of the NBU, meetings were held with the owners of these banks and they were advised to either revise their business models or think about voluntary refusal from the status of the bank.

A year ago, they assured that they have plans for development, but during this time nothing has changed. What is the point of investing additional money in the bank, if it does not give the "exhaust" of the business? ", She said, adding that she offers the owners of small banks to look for an alternative.

They can become a financial company.

Now there are a lot of such companies in Ukraine, but former banks against their background will have a very strong advantage, "explained Rozhkova, noting that it is possible to hand over a banking license, but to keep currency exchange, payment systems and even at own expense,.
