The National Bank is reviewing Tyhypko's documents for the purchase of Idea Bank.

The document package from the shareholder of the TAS Group, Serhiy Tigipko, regarding the approval for the purchase of Idea Bank has been submitted to the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), which is currently processing them in accordance with established legal procedures.

The regulator informed about this in response to an inquiry from Interfax-Ukraine.

"The National Bank of Ukraine has received the relevant document package from Serhiy Tigipko concerning the approval for acquiring a significant stake, which is currently being processed within the licensing procedures according to the legislation and NBU regulations," the statement reads.

Recall that in October 2024, Polish Getin Holding and the TAS Group signed an agreement for the sale of 100% of Idea Bank Ukraine shares for $34 million. In December, the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) granted permission to TAS Group shareholder Serhiy Tigipko for concentration through the indirect acquisition of 100% of the shares of JSC "Idea Bank." The buyer will be Cyprus-based Alkemi Limited from the TAS Group.

After receiving approval from the National Bank, the purchase and sale agreement will be finalized.
