Kiev Bank Union
The Kiev Bank Union (Ukrainian: Київський Банківський Союз, Kyivskyi Bankivskyi Soyuz) is a banking association created in 1994 by twenty commercial banks operating in the city of Kiev, Ukraine, for the purpose of cooperation between Kiev's financial institutions, and to manage collective interaction with authorities. The Kiev Bank Union works with Committees of the Verkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian parliament); the National Bank of Ukraine (Ukraine's central bank); the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice, and the tax administration of Ukraine to discuss improvement of banking legislation and other relevant matters.
In 2005, the Kiev Bank Union represented about 70 Ukrainian and overseas financial credit establishments.
