From stealing billions to bribing NABU: how the shadow owner of "Alliance," Pavel Shcherban, uses top officials for a raider takeover of the NBU

Corruption charges, multibillion-dollar scandals and shadow influence on the NBU: a new high-profile conflict is unfolding around Alliance Bank and its alleged informal leader Pavel Shcherban.

While law enforcement officers are investigating the withdrawal of funds from Ukrenergo, online information has appeared about Shcherban’s attempts to "buy" the regulator’s loyalty through the deputy head of the NBU, Sergey Nikolaychuk. Is there really a desire to change the leadership of the National Bank behind this tandem and what "cleaned up" connections can lead to high offices on Bankova? StopKor’s team figured it out.

Recently, the Joker Telegram channel published a series of messages in which loud accusations were made against the first deputy head of the NBU, Sergey Nikolaychuk, and an employee of Alliance Bank, Pavel Shcherban. The author of the channel states that Nikolaychuk allegedly covers up Shcherban and receives $150 thousand from him monthly for "protection protection" at the NBU.

the schemes, according to NABU, looked like so. In the fall of 2021, Alliance Bank issued almost UAH 2 billion in bank guarantees to United Energy.

they announced suspicion of attempting to give a bribe in the amount of 200 thousand dollars. According to investigators, it was an attempt to influence the course of the investigation and get the case transferred to another law enforcement agency.
largest shareholder alliance Bank is Alexander Sosis.
gas production company "Viva Exploration". Formally, its owners are Shcherban and geologist Sergey Dumenko through the Cyprus company IF Exploration Company Limited.
Investigator", a separate direction — IT business. Here, a whole pool of companies has already formed around Shcherban: Alliance Digital, Asijs, Premier League and Motvel. Some of them are developing products for the banking sector, others work with retail chains and digital services. And this is where Shurma’s possible interest can be traced. It has long been associated with promoting digital solutions in the economy and ambitions to increase its own influence on digital transformation. In this case, Shcherban’s IT assets can be not just a business, but also the basis for creating your own ecosystem of digital projects.

"Investigator" it hints that this motley business empire does not fit well with the role of the chairman of the bank’s supervisory board, who has been going through difficult times for a long time. Therefore, two options are possible: either Alliance Bank is not a key asset for Shcherban, or a significant part of these projects — is only an investment portfolio, where he acts not as a manager, but as a passive investor. And then another question arises: whose funds are really behind these assets?

However, information about Rostislav Shurma’s connection is not so easy to find on the Internet. After all, strangely, all sites, as they say, are cleaned up. This is what information looks like in search.

one of the interviews She called his appointment "the best appointment of the National Bank in the last two years" to the "Commander-in-Chief" and one of the best macroeconomists in Ukraine.

"I believe that this is the best appointment that the National Bank has made over the past two years". Because Sergey – is one of the best macroeconomists in Ukraine, – noted Gontareva.

It is interesting that Nikolaychuk actually worked at the National Bank during a period when key positions in the regulator were occupied by Valeriya Gontareva and Ekaterina Rozhkova.

therefore, Rozhkova’s words today they sound completely different about what worked best for her during the times of Gontareva and Smoliy.

Therefore, he remains one of the few NBU officials who manages to maintain influential positions regardless of changes in the leadership of the regulator and political power in the country.

So, the information that appeared on the Joker telegram channel probably reveals the state of affairs in the financial sector: the tandem of Nikolaychuk and Shcherban is working to remove Andrei Pyshny from the post of head of the NBU?

The Ukrenergo case worth billions of hryvnia, suspicion of attempting to transfer a bribe of 200 thousand dollars, Pavel Shcherban’s business connection, references to Rostislav Shurma and accusations made public by the Joker Telegram channel against Sergey Nikolaychuk add up to one big picture. How true individual statements are and who is really behind these – processes should be determined by the competent authorities. However, it is already obvious today that more questions than answers remain around Alliance Bank and its associated individuals.

The editors have already sent requests to the National Bank of Ukraine regarding the regulator’s position on the activities of Bank Alliance JSC, the existence of claims against the bank from the NBU, the results of inspections of the institution and the measures of influence applied to it.
