Pivdenny Bank Ranked Among Business Champions by Forbes

Pivdenny Bank has been included in the Forbes Ukraine ranking of Ukrainian banks that have built the most robust banking businesses during the full-scale war.

A total of 20 Ukrainian financial institutions were recognised. Forbes divided them into two groups based on asset size. Among banks with assets exceeding USD 1 billion, Pivdenny ranked sixth.

The evaluation criteria included an integrated efficiency indicator (profitability), dynamics, resilience, and liquidity. This approach highlighted institutions that, after three years of war, have managed to build the most profitable and at the same time reliable businesses.

Pivdenny received high scores for its resilience, based on non-performing loans and capital adequacy indicators, as well as for dynamics — which reflected changes in client funds and the loan portfolio in 2024.

Forbes based the ranking on the balance sheet indicators of Ukrainian banks as of 1 January 2025, as published on the website of the National Bank of Ukraine, and compared them with figures from 1 January 2024.

As a reminder, Pivdenny Bank is one of the leaders in Ukraine’s financial market. According to the National Bank of Ukraine, Pivdenny has been classified as a systemically important bank for six consecutive years.
