The history of the Bank goes back to the 1920s when pursuant to the government’s decision “On Supreme Council of the National Economy” the (Prombank) was established as a central financial institution for industry, and on 1 January 1923, the All-Ukrainian Office of Prombank was opened in Kharkiv. The network of branches was steadily expanded with a view to supporting the leading industrial enterprises. Following the reorganization of Prombank in 1928 into the Bank for the Long-Term Lending to Industrial and Electric Power Companies – BDK (Prombank), its strategy changed to focus on providing long-term finance to the construction industry. As a result, approx. 2/3 of all investments into capital construction in the early 1930s were made through the Bank. In 1936-37 the All-Ukrainian Office of Prombank was re-organised into the Office of Authorized Prombank of the USSR based in Kiev (now Kyiv, Ukraine). During the reconstruction period that followed the 2nd World War, the Bank participated actively in restoring various key industrial enterprises, including the reconstruction of Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Station, development of the Donbass coal-mines and other projects of national importance.

In 1959, the bank was reorganized into the All-Union Bank for Financing of Capital Investments (Budbank of the USSR). It assumed the operations of the Bank for Financing of Communal and House Building (Tsekombank), communal banks, Agrarian Bank and Trade Bank. As a result, in addition to financing industrial, transport and communication enterprises, the bank started lending to the education and housing sectors. During this period Budbank was responsible for financing approx. 70% of all capital investments in the Ukrainian economy. In 1987, the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the Council of Ministers of the USSR adopted a resolution under which Budbank was reorganized into the Industrial and Construction Bank of the USSR (Prombudbank of the USSR).

The independence of Ukraine opened a new chapter of the Bank’s development. On the 26th of August 1992 Prombudbank was re-organised into its present form: the Ukrainian Joint-Stock Commercial Industrial and Investment Bank (Prominvestbank of Ukraine). On June 27, 2001 the name of the bank was changed to Joint Stock Commercial Industrial & Investment Bank (closed stock company)(Prominvestbank)

Prominvestbank has, since its beginning in the 1920s, grown to become one of Ukraine’s leading financial institutions. Through its various re-incarnations the Bank has continued to play a lead role in supporting the industrial sector of Ukraine and the development of the national economy – a role that is as important now as it was over eighty years ago. Since Ukrainian independence, Prominvestbank has invested almost USD 67 billion for the development of the Ukrainian economy.

Location[]

The head office of Prominvestbank is located at 12, Shevchenko lane, Kyiv 01001, Ukraine. Prominvestbank has more than 850 branches in all regions of Ukraine.
