Bank's investor NCH Capital is one of the world's largest agribusiness investor-operators. Through innovative approaches, sustainable crop production and efficient logistics, NCH provides food for millions around the globe. In Ukraine, NCH Capital has built a successful agribusiness under the Agroprosperis brand, which cultivates 300,000 hectares of land and exports more than 3 million tons of crops annually.
In order to support and develop Ukrainian agriculture, in 2015 NCH Capital created Agroprosperis Bank, which finances small and medium-sized agricultural producers – a segment almost never considered by banks due to lack of collateral or credit history. Thanks to Agroprosperis Bank, small Ukrainian grain producers finally got access to sufficient financial resources.
On July 16, 2015, Agro Holdings (Ukraine) Limited, a subsidiary of NCH Capital, signed an agreement to acquire Astra Bank PJSC, registered in 2007 and declared insolvent in 2015. Thus, the American NCH became the first and yet the only foreign investor in Ukraine that purchased an insolvent bank and successfully resumed its operations.
In February 2016, Agroprosperis Bank was the first in Ukraine to issue a financial crop receipt, and since then has provided small and medium-sized farmers with over UAH 1 billion pledged by the future harvest.
In 2017, the bank began accepting deposits and developing services for individuals, offering clients the reliability of a foreign capital combined with favorable service terms. In December of the same year, the Rating Agency "Expert-Rating" assigned to Agroprosperis Bank a long-term credit rating at the investment level of uaAA, which characterizes very high creditworthiness, and the highest deposit reliability rating of ua1 on a national scale.
In 2019, the bank began to create a network of branches and today has 5 service centers in Kyiv, a branch in Vinnytsia and a branch in Lviv.
