KredoBank

What KredoBank does

KredoBank (AT KREDOBANK / ПАТ КРЕДОБАНК) is a privately held Ukrainian universal commercial bank headquartered in Lviv, founded in 1989 and operating under National Bank of Ukraine Banking License No. 43 (dated 11 October 2011). The bank serves retail individuals, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), large corporates, IT professionals and freelancers, and Ukrainians residing abroad — primarily in Poland and the EU — through a nationwide network of physical branches and ATMs augmented by digital channels including the iFobs internet-banking platform, a mobile application, and self-service terminals. Its product set spans cash loans, mortgages, auto loans, credit cards and overdrafts on the credit side, and term deposits (Прибутковий/Profitable, Крафтовий/Craft, Правильний вибір/Right Choice), current account packages, virtual cards, escrow accounts, securities, and international money transfer services on the deposit/payments side, with the Craft Banking sub-brand providing specialized tariffs for IT professionals and freelancers receiving foreign-currency income.

Revenue is generated through traditional banking mechanics: net interest margin from lending and deposit-taking (classified as subscription/recurring revenue), transaction and commission fees from card operations, money transfers, currency exchange, and acquiring services (transaction fees), and trade finance facilitation including EBRD-backed letters of credit (professional services). Pricing is publicly disclosed through separate tariff schedules for private clients, individual entrepreneurs (FOP), SMEs, and corporates, with the "Правильна картка" (Correct Card) package offering free account opening and maintenance across UAH, USD, EUR, and PLN current accounts.

The bank's go-to-market relies on a multi-channel distribution model: physical branches and ATMs for direct sales, the iFobs and mobile app for self-service digital banking, BankID and Дія.Підпис (Diia.Pidsum) integration for state-backed digital identity onboarding, Google Pay/Apple Pay for contactless mobile payments, and a dedicated EU/Poland transfer corridor for cross-border remittances. The bank's competitive positioning is anchored by its long-standing NBU license and Deposit Guarantee Fund membership, its access to EBRD capital (cumulatively ~€100M in facilities covering up to €100M in SME lending risk), and a dedicated CERT cybersecurity team. Its ownership is private with no disclosed parent company or institutional shareholders, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
