sportbank operated under the license of JSC «TASKOMBANK» Serhiy Tigipko, so all clients are automatically subordinated to this institution and will continue to be serviced there.
As noted by press service Tascombank, the reason for the closure of Sportbank was «changes in the external environment that require adjustments to the bank’s business model and strategy».

All products of sportbank users will be automatically transferred and available in the TAS2U app (you need to download it first or update it if available for the services to be displayed).
