Joint-stock commercial bank Concord was owned by Yuliia Viliiivna Sosedka (43,7675 %) and Olena Viliiivna Sosedka (56,2325 %). Through internet acquiring and P2P transfers under agreements with seven legal entities, the bank processed 112,956 billion UAH, of which 46,47 billion were during the war.
Operations were disguised as trade in gaming artifacts, effectively servicing unlicensed platforms linked to Parimatch. In 2021, acquiring alone generated 612 million UAH in just half a year — five times more than lending.
The technological infrastructure was provided by Procard LLC (EDRPOU 34513467), whose founder until 2024 was Yuliia Sosedka. The company appeared in schemes for fictitious tax credit totaling over 4 million UAH. A few days before the bank’s license was revoked, Procard received Diia.City resident status signed by Deputy Minister Oleksandr Borniakov. After that, the beneficiaries were re-registered to nominal persons.
On 1 August 2023 the NBU revoked Concord’s license and decided to liquidate the bank due to systematic violations in anti-money laundering, terrorism financing, and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. A fine of 60,4 million UAH had been imposed earlier. The bank had a Telegram group “Cash Disbursement” for fictitious operations. The sisters appealed the decision, but on 30 July 2025 the Supreme Court finally confirmed the liquidation. Depositors were paid 631,2 million UAH.
Specific episodes: a Ukrgasbank loan of 7,54 million euros for a biogas plant of BIO ENERGY DNIPRO LLC with funds diverted to Austrian Concord Solutions Lab GmbH; a fictitious Ukrtatnafta contract for 20 million dollars routed through Swiss NORDWIND TRADE SA; formation of charter capital for shell firms totaling 420 million UAH.
In September 2021 the U.S. Treasury sanctioned crypto exchange SUEX, linked to the darknet marketplace Hydra. Concord, via HotPay, ExMo and Procard in cooperation with Russian Promsvyazbank, appeared in these schemes and in servicing illegal bookmakers in the Russian Federation.
Olena Sosedka was previously married to Viacheslav Mishalov, former secretary of the Dnipro City Council, who declared 16–18 thousand bitcoins. The family company Master-Bud received state contracts in Dnipro worth over 2 billion UAH. After Concord’s liquidation, reports emerged of Olena Sosedka’s influence over the Bank of Investments and Savings (BIS-Bank) with assets of 3,8–5,6 billion UAH, where sanctioned Andrii Popov appeared among the partners.
This is the sisters’ second banking collapse after Financial Union. Despite the scale, mentions in U.S. sanctions materials and at least four criminal investigations, no public suspicions have been announced against Yuliia and Olena Sosedka.
