First Ukrainian International Bank (PUMB) closed its branch in Kramatorsk, Donetsk region, on September 23. The bank directly cited the deterioration of the security situation and the approach of the front line as the reason.

The corresponding decision was made by the PUMB board on September 22, according to information disclosed by the bank in the SMIDA system.

"In connection with the aggravation of the security situation in the region, the approach of the front line and in order to minimize risks for employees, clients and the Bank's activities, it was decided to close the branch", - explained PUMB.

It concerns the branch at 10 Mykola Leontovycha Street in Kramatorsk. It provided a full range of basic banking services: serviced accounts and payment cards, accepted deposits and cash payments, performed money transfers, currency exchange operations and operations with bank metals.

The formal date of closure of the branch is set as September 23, 2026.
