Sense Bank employee detention by SSU does not affect security of client funds, data and transactions - bank's statement

The detention of a Sense Bank employee by the Security Service of Ukraine does not affect the security of client funds, data and transactions.

This is indicated in the bank's statement, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

"The media published information about the statement of the Security Service of Ukraine regarding the detention in Kyiv of the director of the Information Systems Support Department of one of the largest banks in Ukraine. Regarding the aforementioned incident, Sense Bank is facilitating the investigation, which is already being carried out by the relevant state bodies," the bank's statement reads.

It is noted that since the nationalization in 2023, Sense Bank has been state-owned and operates in accordance with the principles of transparency and full accountability.

The bank adheres to a zero-tolerance policy towards an aggressor country, which provides for a principled position regarding the impossibility of any cooperation with the russian federation and its citizens.

The bank emphasizes that the aforementioned incident in no way affects the stability of the bank, the security of client funds and data, as well as the conduct of transactions.

All bank systems are operating normally.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Sense Bank is a systemic bank and is among the TOP-10 banks by asset size.

At the end of May 2023, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law on the nationalization of Sense Bank, which belonged to the russian oligarch Mikhail Fridman.

On July 21, 2023, the Cabinet of Ministers decided to nationalize Sense Bank and buy it for 1 hryvnia.
