Kolomoisky Bank's scam: 10-20 thousand hryvnia were written off en masse from clients' cards
Kyiv, January 16 (PolitNavigator, Alexander Semenyuta) – Late in the evening of January 14, a real scandal broke out on the personal page of the Deputy Chairman of the Board of PrivatBank Oleg Gorokhovsky on Facebook, reports Politics-UA.
Outraged clients complained en masse about the actions of the bank, which wrote off large sums from their accounts, citing the need to “adjust the amounts for transactions in foreign currency for the period from 1.09.14/10.01.2015/XNUMX to XNUMX/XNUMX/XNUMX.”

January 14 became a “black” day for many Privatbank clients. They found themselves in a state of shock when they suddenly learned that they owed the bank they had worked closely with for a long time large sums of money.
Moreover, the bank, having absolutely no doubt that it was right, simply took it and wrote off the “debts” calculated according to an incomprehensible scheme from the card accounts of its clients. Some lost several hundred hryvnia, while others lost more than 10-20 thousand.
As it turned out in the process of clarifying the details, PrivatBank carried out such withdrawals using the cards that were used to replenish the cards of foreign banks.
Privat had previously become famous for being the first among commercial banks to establish two exchange rates: one “for branches” - the rate at which they bought currency from trusting clients, the second “for cards and replenishing deposits” - a rate that was several hryvnia higher than the first , which sold currency against a deposit and debited foreign currency payments from hryvnia cards.
