“Crystalbank” and the Swiss trace: how money transfers could pass through Kopilov’s bank

“Crystalbank” and the Swiss trace: how through Kopilov’s bank millions in transfers could pass

“Crystalbank” (EDRPOU 39544699, MFO 339050) appeared in December 2014 of the year on the assets of “Terra Bank.” Today 50% of the bank is owned by Marina Lening — the wife of the former deputy minister of finance and former acting minister of economy Vadim Kopilov. Kopilov himself chairs the supervisory board. Other shares are split between Oksana Hrebinskaya — 25,000002% and Leonid Hrebinetsky — 24,999997%. Hrebinetsky simultaneously heads the bank’s board of directors.

Lening previously chaired the supervisory board of “Terra Bank.” In Terra’s history, future NBU head Kyrylo Shevchenko figures: he owned 33% of the “Ukrainian Strategic Group,” which controlled 99,21% of the bank. Later Shevchenko received a suspicion from NABU and SAP in a case of withdrawing 206 million UAH from “Ukrgasbank,” left Ukraine, and went on the wanted list.

Now “Crystalbank” figures in materials about financial operations of the Dmitry Rivkin and Anton Skorobogatov group. The scheme is built on a chain of Ukrainian financial companies, importers, and foreign legal entities: hryvnia comes into Ukrainian structures, converted into currency, after which the funds are sent to Done Switzerland AG. In the published materials, the bank conducting such payments is named precisely “Crystalbank.”

One of the key companies is Supply Chain Finance (SCF). In 2025 year it issued bonds for 180 million UAH. By the 2026-th 70% SCF belonged to Rivkin, another 30% — the fund “KASL,” previously called “DANN GROUP.” Nearby figures include Polish KOOPERANT EUROPEJSKI and Ukrainian companies “Globinex,” “Motoroz Parts Ukraine,” “Commodities,” “Hampton’s Trade” and “TBS.”

Funds are withdrawn to a Swiss level. Done Switzerland AG, CHE-363.272.422, formerly Alltag und Gerätetechnik. Rivkin appeared among its executives and had an individual signing right. In the company’s documents CHF 30,33 million of assets were reflected with CHF 27,77 million liabilities.

Even more striking is the story with cryptocurrency. In the Swiss company’s capital were contributed three tranches — 504 376 USDT, 504 415 USDT and 511 512 USDT. In total 1 520 303 USDT. To the crypto, shares were issued, and the company’s capital grew from CHF 520 thousand to CHF 1,75 million. Thus the crypto was converted into a stake in a Swiss juridical entity.

At the same time, Crystalbank itself is small: at the start of 2026 year net assets were about 2,9 billion UAH, by 2025 year the bank recorded 43 million UAH in losses, CIR — 109%. The NBU had already applied regulatory influence to the bank for violations of financial monitoring and anti-money-laundering rules.

In one banking narrative, very concrete surnames and sums converge: Kopilov chairs the supervisory board, his wife Lening owns 50%; Leonid Hrebinetsky runs the bank and, together with Oksana Hrebinskaya, holds the other half; Rivkin and Skorobogatov are linked with the DANN group; SCF issued bonds for 180 million UAH; funds went to Done Switzerland AG; the Swiss company’s capital included 1,52 million USDT.

Precisely through this chain — Ukrainian hryvnia, linked financial companies and importers, currency purchases, transfers to Switzerland, cryptocurrency, and subsequent share issuance — money ends up in another legal form and another jurisdiction. And the bank through which the described payments passed had previously been subject to NBU influence measures under financial monitoring lines.
