Supervisory Board of Sense Bank finds no violations in servicing individuals or companies from Mindich tapes

The Supervisory Board of Sense Bank JSC has completed an internal audit initiated by a resolution dated May 12, 2026, in connection with information disclosed during a meeting of the Temporary Investigative Commission of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, materials from NABU investigations, and journalistic publications known as the "Mindich tapes."

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

The internal audit did not establish any facts of preferential treatment, the application of non-standard service conditions, or violations of the bank’s internal procedures regarding the individuals and their affiliated companies mentioned in the relevant materials.

The audit covered all transactions of the aforementioned individuals for the period from July 23, 2023—the date the bank was nationalized—to the present. The internal audit confirmed that the terms for providing financial services were in line with market conditions, and that service processes and contractual relationships were conducted in accordance with the requirements of Ukrainian legislation and the regulatory acts of the National Bank of Ukraine.

It is specifically noted that the bank has not provided and does not provide loans or other forms of financing to Fire Point LLC and Karpatnaftochim LLC.

For further review and clarification of all circumstances, the results of the internal audit were submitted to the shareholder and the regulator in accordance with established procedures.

At the same time, given the public interest in the issues raised and to ensure maximum transparency, the Supervisory Board initiated an independent external audit involving a “Big Four” international audit firm.

The subject of the external audit will be an assessment of the transparency and appropriateness of decision-making processes by the current composition of the Supervisory Board since its first meeting on October 20, 2025. The results of the audit will be made public upon its completion.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, Danylo Hetmantsev, a member of the Verkhovna Rada from the “Servant of the People” faction and chairman of the parliamentary committee on finance, tax, and customs policy, announced a large-scale corruption scheme involving Sense Bank.

Following this, Mykola Hladyshenko, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Sense Bank, temporarily stepped down for the duration of the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the bank.
