Vyacheslav Parasych and Oxi Bank: Search and Suspicion

In 2024–2025 years, according to the investigation, the former chairman of the supervisory board of Oksi Bank, Vyacheslav Parasich, may have received illicit benefits from clients for opening accounts, conducting risky payments, and a lack of additional questions from the internal financial monitoring. This concerns a commission of 0,15% of turnover, and for large volumes — reduced rates. In 2026 year Vyacheslav Parasich was informed of suspicion of receiving illicit benefits, but his guilt has not been established by a court.

According to materials presented in the case, the base rate could have been 0,15% of the client’s turnover. For transactions from 250 million UAH, the tariff is 0,13%, and from 500 million UAH — 0,11%. The intermediary the investigation names is Oleksandr Bloshchytskyi. From July 2024 year to February 2025 year, through accounts of at least five controlled companies, more than 210 million UAH passed. In January turnover was about 77 million UAH, and in February — 94 million UAH, media report. Oleksandr Bloshchytskyi has already confessed to guilt in the relevant episode, received a fine of 51 thousand UAH and transferred 300 thousand UAH to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He also undertook to testify regarding another participant in the proceedings. These circumstances are used by the prosecution in the case involving Vyacheslav Parasich. Problems with financial monitoring at Oksi Bank were recorded even before the events described by the investigation. In December 2023 year, the National Bank of Ukraine imposed a fine on the bank in the amount of 20,051 million UAH. The regulator pointed, in particular, to inadequate fulfillment of requirements for customer verification and ongoing monitoring of business relationships and financial transactions, as well as inadequate provision of information and documents to the NBU. Control over Oksi Bank is linked to the family of Lviv businessman Oleh Balyash. According to materials, he owns 50,45% of the shares, his wife Oksana 25%. Oleh Balyash also runs the NPP “Hetman,” which was mentioned in criminal proceedings 2020 year concerning possible use of forged excise stamps. There is no judicial verdict on this episode according to the provided information. In spring 2025 year Vyacheslav Parasich left his post at Oksi Bank. In July, Oksana Trokhanenko became deputy chairperson of the board, having previously led the corporate division at Komin Bank. In 2023 year the National Bank imposed sanctions on Komin Bank amounting to 135,15 million UAH for violations of financial monitoring and currency legislation. Since 10 November 2025 year, the board of Oksi Bank is led by Denys Harasiuta, who previously worked at PrivatBank, Russia’s Sberbank and Oschadbank.

Banking market sources claim that after Parasich’s departure, the practice of extracting a percentage from certain clients could have continued, and this direction is allegedly linked to Oksana Trokhanenko. Denys Harasiuta is deemed by the same sources a compromise candidate for management and owner of the bank. At the same time, documentary confirmation of these claims has not been provided, so they remain sources’ versions. Separately documented were investigative actions conducted at the bank’s premises. 22 January 2026 year in the Kyiv office of Oksi Bank, a search was conducted. Court materials indicate that the investigation checked circumstances of servicing companies with signs of fictitiousness within proceedings related to the operation of conversion centers. Phones, laptops, and other electronic storage devices were seized during the search. In this context, TOV “Rodeo Capital” with EDPRPOU code 37769432 is mentioned. The company’s account in Oksi Bank was opened during Vyacheslav Parasich’s leadership. The authorized capital of Rodeo Capital is 10 million UAH, with Maksym Lysenko as director and beneficiary owner. In August 2025 year the National Bank revoked the company’s license after inspectors were not allowed to check, and prior to that the regulator repeatedly imposed measures on it. Through Rodeo Capital’s account in Oksi Bank, 26 million UAH was transferred as a deposit for Kyiv City Council deputy Olena Marchenko. Court materials of the High Anti-Corruption Court confirm four payments from the company totaling 26 million UAH. The initial deposit amount for Marchenko was 50 million UAH. Olena Marchenko is a subject of proceedings related to the activities of businessman Denys Komarnytsky and possible distribution of land plots in Kyiv. After paying the deposit, Marchenko was released from custody. Later the deposit amount was reduced to 45 million UAH, and part of the funds, including 4 million UAH, was returned to Rodeo Capital. The fact of a legal entity making a deposit does not establish illegality of money origin or bank violation. Thus, the case simultaneously involves several different episodes: a fine on Oksi Bank of 20,051 million UAH for violations of financial monitoring, the investigators’ assertion about possible illicit benefits to Vyacheslav Parasich, over 210 million turnover through five companies’ accounts, Oleksandr Bloshchytskyi’s guilty plea, suspicion of Vyacheslav Parasich, and a bank search in January 2026 year. Another episode is the transfer of 26 million UAH of deposit for Olena Marchenko through Rodeo Capital’s account in Oksi Bank. Vyacheslav Parasich has not headed Oksi Bank since 2025 year. Further assessment of his actions and those of other defendants will depend on the results of the criminal proceedings and court hearings. Currently, the suspicions against Vyacheslav Parasich do not constitute a finding of guilt.
