Oschadbank obtained a license for international cargo transportation

Oschad has obtained a license for international transportation by trucks. The relevant decision was made by the State Service of Ukraine for Transport Safety (Ukrtransbezpeka) in accordance with the order dated July 3, 2025.

Due to the closure of civil air traffic, all types of currency valuables are delivered to Ukraine exclusively by road. To ensure uninterrupted operations, Oschadbank transports currency valuables from abroad and outside Ukraine by specialized vehicles. Obtaining the appropriate license is an important condition for the legal and safe performance of such transportation within the European Union.

"The international freight transportation license confirms that Oschadbank meets all European requirements for safety, staff qualifications, vehicle fleet, and process organization. This is another step towards enhancing the bank's resilience under martial law and ensuring critical operations," commented Yevhen Drachko-Yermolenko, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Oschadbank.

To obtain the license, the bank met all the requirements of Ukrainian and European legislation, in particular the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the EU Council of 21 October 2009 establishing common rules for road transport operators.

In particular, it was confirmed that the collection service of Oschadbank:

• has the necessary material and technical base (its own fleet of specialized vehicles, service stations, and relevant equipment);
• the vehicles are equipped with tachographs and other devices to monitor the drivers' work schedule;
• complies with the requirements for environmental safety of vehicles;
• employs international transportation specialists with appropriate qualifications;
• cooperates with medical institutions for periodic examinations of drivers;
• ensures that drivers have the appropriate “C,” “C1,” “CE,” or “C1E” certificates and have at least 3 years of proven experience in domestic transportation.

The license enables Oschadbank to continue to perform the functions of a systemic bank of the state, guaranteeing the safety and efficiency of international transportation of currency values, in particular in cooperation with the National Bank of Ukraine and other financial institutions.
