The chairman of the supervisory board of Sense Bank has temporarily stepped down while the circumstances surrounding the bank are being investigated.

This is stated in the bank's announcement, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

On May 6, 2026, Mykola Hladyshenko, the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of JSC "Sense Bank," submitted a request to be relieved of his duties as the Chairman of the Supervisory Board of JSC "Sense Bank" on his own initiative for the period necessary to clarify all circumstances related to the negative information about the bank circulating in the media.

An extraordinary meeting of the Supervisory Board was held, during which the Chairman’s official statement was accepted, and the duties of the Chairman of the Supervisory Board were assigned to Piotr Nowak.

Piotr Nowak joined the Supervisory Board of JSC "Sense Bank" in October 2025 as an independent member.
