Ten years of falsified reporting: NBU stated that "Sense Bank" had parallel accounting

Deputy Governor of the NBU Dmytro Oliynyk reported that since 2012, "Alfa-Bank" (now "Sense Bank") has been actively providing loans to related parties and maintaining double bookkeeping.

The NBU official stated this today at a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada’s temporary investigative commission in the «Midas» case, — FinClub reports.

«The bank had falsified reporting. Since 2012, there were over ten thousand forged documents there – parallel bookkeeping. They issued loans to related parties, conducted off-balance sheet operations, and carried out transactions for the benefit of shareholders. The bank was in default at that time. From 2012 to 2023, it could have been removed from the market more than ten times», — he emphasized.

According to Dmytro Oliynyk, the NBU discovered the document substitution only in 2023 – after nationalization, which took place in July.

The official informed the deputies that the issuance of loans to shareholders led to negative capital for Sense Bank at the time of nationalization.

«Sense Bank was nationalized due to suspicions about the quality of its financial reporting. After that, 4 billion UAH in additional reserves were formed. The bank falsified reporting», — Dmytro Oliynyk reported.

Earlier at the TSK meeting, people’s deputy Danylo Hetmantsev declared an organized criminal group in Sense Bank and the NBU’s «closed eyes».

Dmytro Oliynyk noted that three inspection checks and three financial monitoring checks were conducted at Sense Bank, one of which fully concerned the gambling business. 

The NBU transferred information about such operations to law enforcement agencies in March 2025.
