Since 1998, Ukrgasbank has served only the newly created NJSC Naftogaz.
Back then, the clients of Ukrgasbank were enterprises engaged in oil and gas production. Two years later, Naftogaz refused the bank's services.
'After that, the bank revised its policy towards clients and turned from a highly specialized branch bank into a universal one,' the bank's executives told reporters.
Associates
Ihor Bakai
- Former advisor to President Leonid Kuchma.
- In 1998-2000, Chairman of NJSC Naftogaz, and then — Head of the State Administration of Affairs.
- In 2004, the politician left Ukraine. For a long time, he was wanted by Interpol. He was accused of abuse of his official position and exceeding his powers in his post of Head of the State Department of Affairs.
- In 2017, Bakai was arrested in Moscow on suspicion of fraud. It was reported that there were a number of allegations to the prosecutor's office accusing Ihor Bakai. Among others, Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov who loaned Bakai million also sent an allegation.
- Since 1994, the bank has belonged to structures associated with Bakai. In particular, with Intergas, a company that bought fuel in Russia.
According to the media, the owners of Intergasbank were Bakai's partners Oleksandr Abdullin, Oleksiy Kucherenko, Serhii Veselov, and Kostyantyn Zhevago.
Back then, the bank served only one structure — the company Veles owned by Bakai that at that time did not carry out any settlements.
- Until 2000, Bakai was a shareholder of Ukrgasbank.
Vasyl Horbal
former shareholder, honorary president and chairman of the board of Ukrgasbank
- In 1996, Horbal came to Ukrgasbank as Deputy Chairman of the Board — Head of the Foreign Currency Operations Department. He recalled that at that time there were only about ten people working in the bank.
'I was given a certain block of shares as a bonus for the successful development of the bank,' Horbal told reporters about how he became a shareholder in the bank.
Later, Ihor Bakai transferred the entire bank under his management.
- 'For a person who held such positions, transferring the management of a then-small bank is a modest gift,' the Ukrgasbank website quotes Horbal. In 2002, Horbal became a people's deputy from Party of Regions — during his parliamentary activities, he was the honorary president of the bank.
- And in 2010, after the victory of Viktor Yanukovych in the presidential elections, he was appointed head of the Lviv Regional State Administration.
Oleh Dubyna
former chairman of the board of Naftogaz
- In the government of Yulia Tymoshenko, Dubyna was the chairman of the board of NJSC Naftogaz. He is remembered for signing an expensive gas contract with Russia that was considered unprofitable for Ukraine.
- In 2009, after the nationalization of Ukrgasbank, Dubyna became the chairman of the Supervisory Board of the bank.
- A year later, he was replaced in this position by Viktor Ivchenko, the chairman of the supervisory board of the National Depository of Ukraine. He is the husband of Vera Ulyanchenko, a former head of the Presidential Secretariat Viktor Yushchenko.
