| Purpose | Pre-contract OSINT screening · lang=en |
| Documents provided | None (open sources only) |
| Data collected | 2026-05-26 |
| Open questions | Whether engagement is with the channel (marketing/PR) or the bank (financial services); confirm YouTube link on privatbank.ua footer/social block in your locale; full ДРС / ЄДРСР session if deal is material. |
| Criterion | Triggered | Points | Factual basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sanctions (official lists) | no* | 0 | No automated hit on 14360570 in this pass; ДРС / consolidated lists — requires manual check |
| Connection to RF / RB / occupied territories | no | 0 | NBU: ultimate owner of substantial participation is State of Ukraine confirmed fact |
| Bankruptcy / insolvency | no | 0 | NBU institution card: status solvent (платоспроможний) confirmed fact |
| Tax debt | no* | 0 | DPS registers not queried in this run |
| Enforcement proceedings | n/a | 0 | ASVP not run for channel subject; bank-scale enforcement needs manual ASVP if relevant |
| High litigation activity | context | 0 | Long-running public disputes around 2016 nationalisation — descriptive context only, not a rubric trigger for the channel |
| Frequent director changes | no | 0 | NBU leadership listing stable in public card at access date |
| Recent UBO change | no | 0 | State ownership structure unchanged in NBU disclosure |
| Related companies with issues | n/a | 0 | Affiliate graph not mapped in this screening |
| Negative media coverage | yes | 4 | confirmed fact PrivatBank and industry media document active phishing / social-engineering schemes; Securelist (2025) notes YouTube Shorts abuse patterns — ecosystem risk, not proof the official channel is fraudulent |
| Tender violations / competition authority | n/a | 0 | Prozorro / AMCU not applicable to YouTube channel intake |
| Intermediate sum | 4 | Rubric triggers only | |
| Integral score (institution + channel) | 22 | Baseline ~18 for solvent state-linked system bank +4 media/ecosystem impersonation pressure | |
| Final risk score | 22 / 100 | COMPLETE — Range: 0–20 · Low risk (upper border; scored 22 for conservatism on impersonation) | |
Score does not treat missing ДРС data as automatic guilt; +4 reflects verified public fraud-awareness context around the brand on digital channels.
No critical red flags on the official channel identity sampled (handle @PrivatBankUKR, video descriptions pointing to privatbank.ua / privat24.ua). Residual flags are operational / ecosystem:
confirmed fact PrivatBank publishes fraud warnings (112.ua, privatbank.ua/safeness): scammers use urgent calls, fake “security service” scripts, and malicious links. Kaspersky Securelist (2025) documents large-scale scam patterns on YouTube (Shorts, fake giveaways). This does not attribute fraud to @PrivatBankUKR, but users searching “youtube приватбанк” may encounter unrelated malicious uploads.
requires manual check YouTube oEmbed API returns author_url=https://www.youtube.com/@PrivatBankUKR for bank promotional videos. The English “About the Bank” page fetched did not expose an explicit YouTube URL in visible HTML — verify social links on privatbank.ua (footer / contacts) and YouTube “verified” badge before treating any other “ПриватБанк” channel as official.
probable link / context Wikipedia and investigative media (e.g. OCCRP) describe the 2016 nationalisation and litigation with former shareholders. Relevant for complex transactions involving legacy claims — not an automatic disqualifier for routine use of official digital channels.

Technical summary
Primary object: Public YouTube presence associated with PrivatBank — channel name «ПриватБанк Україна», handle @PrivatBankUKR, hosted on Google’s YouTube platform (youtube.com).
Linked legal entity: JSC CB «PRIVATBANK» / АТ КБ «ПриватБанк», ЄДРПОУ 14360570, NBU code 305299, website privatbank.ua. Screening purpose: pre-contract due diligence on the combined “youtube + PrivatBank” identity (digital channel + regulated bank).
Open sources consistently attribute promotional bank videos to channel @PrivatBankUKR with descriptions linking to official PrivatBank domains. The underlying bank is a solvent, state-linked systemically important institution per the NBU public card. The main caution is not platform authenticity but user confusion: third parties impersonate PrivatBank across digital channels including YouTube-style scams documented in 2025 industry reporting. Manual sanctions screening and explicit confirmation of the official channel URL remain mandatory.
22 / 100 — conservative low band (just above 0–20) driven by verified fraud-awareness media around the brand on open networks, offset by strong NBU/GLEIF alignment for the bank entity.
See section above: ecosystem impersonation; cross-link verification pending; nationalisation context for complex deals. No substantiated red flag that the sampled official channel is a typosquat or anonymous registrar operation.
confirmed fact NBU: Full name «акціонерне товариство комерційний банк "ПриватБанк"»; address web https://privatbank.ua; contact 3700; categories: solvent, state-participation bank, DGF, systemically important (data as of 01.04.2026 on card).
confirmed fact GLEIF API: LEI 8945005WHA3OZKWIGJ69, status ACTIVE, legal name in Ukrainian Cyrillic matching PrivatBank.
confirmed fact YouTube oEmbed (sample video gsmsFJn34OM, 2025-03-11): author_name=ПриватБанк Україна, author_url=/@PrivatBankUKR.
requires manual check Live ЄДР extract for address, KVED, and signatories if contract requires registry-primary proof.
confirmed fact NBU “ultimate owners of substantial participation”: State of Ukraine represented by the Cabinet of Ministers — direct substantial participation.
confirmed fact Board: Mikael Björknert (Chair of the Board); Supervisory Board Chair: Nils Melngailis (NBU card, access 2026-05-26).
n/a YouTube channel does not publish a separate corporate registry; beneficial ownership of the channel is administratively under Google account policies — treat bank UBO as governing counterparty for compliance.
confirmed fact Videos reference products: Privat24, Terminal app (Visa partnership), loyalty “Pryvit” — consistent with bank product lines on privatbank.ua.
probable link Former shareholders (Kolomoisky / Bogolyubov) appear in international investigative context around pre-2016 events — relevant only where legacy litigation or claims are in scope; not linked to the YouTube channel operationally.
hypothesis Unrelated channels using “PrivatBank” branding may exist; only @PrivatBankUKR was positively tied via oEmbed in this pass.
requires manual check Screen 14360570 and full legal name in ДРС, NAZK tools, OFAC, EU, UK lists before any payment or data-sharing decision.
confirmed fact No open-source assertion in this screening that the bank entity itself is a listed sanctions target; absence of search is not clearance.
probable link / context Public record of disputes following 2016 nationalisation (media summaries). ЄДРСР mass search not performed — requires manual check for deal-specific parties.
n/a YouTube platform litigation (Alphabet COPPA, EU DMA) is parent-platform context if you rely on YouTube APIs/ads — see separate platform screening if needed.
confirmed fact NBU solvency status: no insolvency signal on institution card.
requires manual check Tax debt registers (cabinet.tax.gov.ua) and ASVP for legal entity if policy requires.
n/a Enforcement databases do not apply to the YouTube channel as a standalone legal person.
confirmed fact Bank-maintained safeness pages warn clients never to share card PIN/CVV; report fraud via Privat24 or 3700.
confirmed fact Sample official videos (2024–2025) are educational/product promos with high view counts (e.g. ~2.9M views on anniversary cashback spot) — consistent with major retail bank marketing reach.
probable link English-language interviews on third-party channels (AWS, Nordic Fintech Magazine) feature PrivatBank executives — not substitutes for verifying @PrivatBankUKR.
n/a Prozorro screening not requested for this YouTube-focused intake. Bank participates in public procurement as large SOE — run Prozorro by UA-EDR-14360570 if procurement is in scope.
⚠️ Proceed with restrictions. For consuming or citing PrivatBank content on YouTube, use only the channel confirmed as @PrivatBankUKR with links to *.privatbank.ua / privat24.ua. For banking or contractual relationships, apply standard regulated-bank DD (NBU licence PDF, sanctions, tax/ASVP as per policy). Do not trust unsolicited “support” videos, giveaway Shorts, or off-platform payment instructions.
