ConcordBank - сonnect to the Universe!

Our history

JSC “JSCB “CONCORD" was founded on August 7, 2006. In 2012, its main beneficiaries were Olena Sosiedka and Yuliia Sosiedka, which became a new stage in the bank's development. During this time, 14 branches were opened: 4 in Dnipro, 3 in Kyiv, 2 in Odesa, as well as in Lviv, Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhzhia, Novomoskovsk and Kharkiv.

Since 2016 ConcordBank has a contract with an independent processing center "ProCard", making it completely independent in everything – from the issuance of state-of-the-art cards to terminals, from providing bonus systems to high speeds in payments.

JSC “JSCB “CONCORD" was the first among small and medium-sized banks in Ukraine to become a principal member of the payment
systems Mastercard, Visa and Prostir.

During the entire period of activity (since 2006) the bank has issued more than 100,000 payment cards, each of which can be connected to Apple Pay, Google Pay and Garmin Pay.
