Sense Bank (Ukrainian: Сенс Банк) is one of the largest Ukrainian banks. Prior to its nationalization in July 2023, it was owned by ABH Financial Limited and ABH Ukraine Limited. Previously called Alfa-Bank (legally it was not connected with the Russian Alfa-Bank, but it had the same shareholders); on December 1, 2022, the name of the bank was changed to Sense Bank. The bank was founded in 1993. In early 2024, it was confirmed by the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) as one of the country's systemically important banks. The bank is also a member of the Ukrainian Deposit Guarantee Fund. Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine the bank was rebranded to Sense Bank. Directly following the invasion millions of hryvnias of the bank's budget were allocated to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Territorial Defense Forces. In 2022, the bank's largest shareholder was Russian–Israeli oligarch Mikhail Fridman⁣ (32.86%). They controlled the bank through ABH Financial Limited and ABH Ukraine Limited. In April 2023 the NBU declared the holding companies used to control the bank, ABH Financial Limited and ABH Ukraine Limited, "dubious" and instated a temporary ban on the use of its voting rights (100% of the voting rights of Sense Bank). On July 21, 2023 the Shmyhal Government (Cabinet of ministers of Ukraine) nationalised the bank.
