==History==

With the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]], the Ukrainian operations of the [[Savings Bank of the USSR]] were reorganized as a stand-alone institution, the State Specialized Commercial Savings Bank of Ukraine.<ref name=WBB>{{citation |title=State-Owned Banks in the Transition: Origins, Evolution, and Policy Responses |url=https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/pt/364131468742855118/pdf/258320State1banks1Final1022803.pdf |author=Khaled Sherif, Michael Borish, & Alexandra Gross |year=2003 |publisher=World Bank |location=Washington DC |access-date=2024-07-18 |archive-date=2024-07-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240716212753/https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/pt/364131468742855118/pdf/258320State1banks1Final1022803.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>{{rp|25}} On {{date|1999/05/21}}, the latter was transformed by Decree of the [[Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine]] into Oschadbank, a [[joint-stock company]].

According to the British magazine The Banker, in 2014 Oschadbank ranked 10th in the ranking of the largest banks in Central and Eastern Europe and 367th in the ranking of the top 1000 world banks.<ref>[http://www.oschadnybank.com/ua/press-service/news/2830003/ Ощадбанк увійшов до десятки найбільших банків Центральної та Східної Європи] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140820081947/http://www.oschadnybank.com/ua/press-service/news/2830003/ |date=2014-08-20 }} ''oschadnybank.com'', 07.08.2014</ref>

As of the end of 2016, the bank had 3,650 branches and 2,850 ATMs throughout the country.<ref>[https://bank.gov.ua/doccatalog/document?id=34661581 Number of branches and ATMs as of January 1, 2017], ''[[National Bank of Ukraine]]''</ref> Together with [[PrivatBank]], Oschadbank was one of the {{clarify span|few two|date=November 2022}} Ukrainian banks whose clients' time deposits are fully guaranteed by state law compared to total of [[Ukrainian hryvnia|₴]] 200,000 in other banks in case of bank liquidation.

For a long time, the bank remained the only one of 74 Ukrainian banks that was not a member of the Deposit Guarantee Fund. In April 2022, the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine on Ensuring the Stability of the Deposit Guarantee System" came into force, which aims to increase depositors' confidence in the banking system and ensure its stability. It is within the framework of this law that Oschadbank joined the DGF.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Вступив у дію закон про стовідсоткове гарантування вкладів фізичних осіб, у рамках якого Ощадбанк приєднався до ФГВФО |trans-title=The law on 100% guarantee of deposits of individuals entered into force, within the framework of which Oschadbank joined the FGVFO |url=https://www.oschadbank.ua/news/vstupiv-u-diu-zakon-pro-stovidsotkove-garantuvanna-vkladiv-fizicnih-osib-u-ramkah-akogo-osadbank-priednavsa-do-fgvfo |access-date=2022-10-01 |website=www.oschadbank.ua |language=uk}}</ref>
