Today FUIB is among Ukraine’s TOP 10 banks by financials. FUIB entered Ukraine’s TOP 10 banks by lending and TOP 5 by currency conversion transactions.

«The tightly-knit team, customer recognition and investor confidence facilitated FUIB’s sustainable growth over 20 years, − added Ilya Arkhipov, chairman of the FUIB’s Supervisory Board. − Now we are halfway to our goal – FUIB in Ukraine's TOP 5 financial institutions by key financial results. We will continue building a successful Bank – a leading-edge, efficient, modern bank with the best products and services, and excellent performance results».

FUIB continues to raise the transparency of its business, providing a timely disclosure of financial results and reporting on its performance regularly.
