Sportbank (Ukrainian: спортба́нк) is the first niche bank in Ukraine. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the bank redesigned its operations to make donating more convenient to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The concept of the sport focused neobank firstly arose in 2014, while the bank was launched in 2019 by Nick Izmailov and Denys Saprykin.
According to DELO business outlet, TASCOMGROUP has invested nearly $17m into the development of sportbank. In December 2021 sportbank joined Ukrainian government anti-COVID finance assistance program eSupport.
The main idea of the bank
Sportsbank in a short time entered the TOP ratings of Ukraine among the increase in customers. In just a couple of years, sportbank has been downloaded more than 300,000 times. You can install the official mobile application from the Google Play and AppStore services.
After authorization, the client has the opportunity to order a payment card, which will be delivered to him by a courier. After that, the owner can use all the features of sportbank online banking.
Nikita Izmailov, one of the main investors of the project, says that consumers’ focus on healthy lifestyle ideas will never go away. The relevance of sports is the main niche of the Internet bank.
How it works?
Many people are now devoting themselves to sports: some are engaged professionally, some go to the gym twice a week, and some go only to physical education classes. All this audience is united by one thing – the purchase of things for their leisure.
Nikita Izmailov is sure that placing an order with a sportbank card is not only easy, but also profitable. The payment system gives a cashback of 10% to the account. Now you can buy sneakers or leggings at a significant discount and without leaving your home.
In addition to shopping, sportbank is suitable for those who cannot imagine their life without sports competitions and bets on winners. You can also pay the bet in the sportbank online banking service on your mobile phone. Nikita Izmailov, a sponsor of sportbank, motivates people to go in for sports and an active lifestyle.
