 NBU informs law enforcement agencies about suspicious client transactions

In the first half of the year, the National Bank of Ukraine sent 10 letters to law enforcement agencies with information on suspicious transactions of clients of 22 banks. It is reported by the press service of the NBU.

"The NBU provided information to law enforcement officers, which mainly concerned the making by clients of banks of risky financial operations with cash in large volumes, as well as transactions for transferring funds outside Ukraine, which could indicate withdrawal of capital from the country," the report said. According to the director of the department of financial monitoring Igor Bereza, in order to prevent banking risks in the field of financial monitoring, the NBU has introduced a risk-oriented approach that allows banks to assess the real financial capabilities of clients wishing to engage in financial transactions.
