23 millions of hryvnias in a personal deposit amid the collapse of Finexpress: Ihor Fisun’s financial operations and ties to the Pin-Up case
5 February 2026, 23 million UAH were transferred by Ihor Fisun from his account at Pivdennyi Bank to his personal account at Acordbank, and then he placed these funds in a deposit.
At the same time, his payment business showed a significant decline in revenues and posted losses for 2025 year. The financial figures cited raise questions about the movement of funds, but by themselves do not indicate that the transactions were illegal.
23 million UAH passed through a personal account in one day
According to the bank statement description, on 5 February 2026, 23 million UAH arrived to Fisun’s current account at Acordbank from his account at Pivdennyi Bank. After that, the funds were transferred to a deposit under agreement No. DI-050226/468-38 dated the same day.
The statement notes that the account balance before and after the operations was 10 UAH, and the debit and credit turnover was 23 million UAH. Thus, within a single day the funds passed through the current account and were placed in a personal deposit.
At the same time, the provided data do not reveal the origin of these funds and do not provide grounds to assert that the operation was illegal.
Finexpress lost revenue and ended the year with losses
Ihor Fisun owns 100% of the payment institution Finexpress, registered in 2015 with a charter capital of 6 million UAH. The company’s director is Oksana Hubina.
According to the presented financial indicators, in 2024 the company earned 265,45 million UAH in revenue and 50,31 million UAH in profit. In 2025 year revenue fell by 66% — to 90,33 million UAH, and instead of a profit the company recorded a loss of 14,77 million UAH.
Profitability fell from 18,95% to minus 16,35%. Assets decreased from 156,09 million to 72,5 million UAH, and the number of employees — from 24 to 16. Projected revenue for 2026 year is 80,64 million UAH.
Against this background, Fisun’s personal deposit of 23 million UAH exceeds Finexpress’s charter capital by approximately 3,8 times and amounts to about a quarter of the company’s annual revenue for 2025 year. At the same time, an owner’s personal funds do not necessarily originate from the activities of that institution.
Contracts with Ukrposhta and ties to Ukrkart
Another asset linked to Fisun is the technology operator Ukrkart, which is controlled through the Cypriot company Fintecrave Ltd. In May 2025 the company changed its name and address to Uzhhorod, Volonteriv Street, 10.
According to the provided data, in one year the company generated 38,47 million UAH in revenue, 1,42 million UAH in profit and had assets of 14,15 million UAH.
State-owned Ukrposhta signed 2 contracts with the operator for payment processing worth about 154,54 million UAH. In February 2024 the National Bank of Ukraine fined the operator for late submission of reports.
Fisun also owns shares in Oksi Bank and previously held leadership positions on its supervisory board. According to the provided information, his stake decreased from 9,95% to 8,2917%, or 19,9 million shares. The bank’s largest shareholders are Oleh Balyash with 58,71% and Oksana Balyash with 20,83%.
In addition, Fisun controls the companies Pay System with a charter capital of 50 thousand UAH and Finexpressinvest with a charter capital of 5,5 million UAH.
Corporate overlaps with participants in the Pin-Up case
A separate set of questions concerns the corporate links of individuals who previously worked in structures connected to Fisun and later appeared in the payment infrastructure of online casinos.
The former head of Ukrkart, Ihor Zotko, is connected with the payment service Interkassa and later with the operator Pin-Up. Yaroslav Fomytskyi, who previously led Finexpress structures, later headed the company Ukr Game Technology, which obtained a license to operate online casinos.
Publications about criminal proceeding No. 72022000400000003 described a payment circuit involving Interkassa, Tranzzo, Ukrkart and Oksi Bank. According to the investigation’s version, transactions could have been masked as payments for goods and services.
However, the mere fact of corporate overlaps does not prove Fisun’s involvement in money laundering or other offenses.
Verdict in the Pin-Up case: what is known
On 10 July 2025 the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv found the director of Ukr Game Technology guilty on several articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, including participation in a criminal organization, cooperation with an aggressor state, tax evasion, legalization of proceeds and official forgery.
The court sentenced him to 5 years of imprisonment with a probationary period of 3 years and applied special confiscation of 2,6 billion UAH. According to the information provided, on 10 August the decision took legal effect, and on 26 August the State Bureau of Investigations reported revenues to the state budget of over 2,8 billion UAH, taking into account income from seized assets.
Importantly, this verdict concerns the casino director, not Ihor Fisun.
What questions remain open
Finexpress’s financial figures, Fisun’s personal deposit of 23 million UAH, Ukrkart’s contracts with Ukrposhta and corporate ties to participants in the Pin-Up case form various elements of the story of his payment business.
At the same time, the available data do not establish a direct link between the personal deposit and the company’s losses, nor do they prove Fisun’s involvement in offenses in the Pin-Up case. Such conclusions would require documents on the origin of the funds, results of regulator checks or materials from law enforcement agencies.
The key question remains unanswered: what were the sources of the 23 million UAH placed in the personal deposit on 5 February 2026, and whether this operation was checked by the authorized financial authorities.
