The Deposit Guarantee Fund for Individuals (DGF) warned of a phishing campaign: citizens are receiving emails purportedly from the institution urging them to follow a link. “All corporate email of the institution and its employees uses only the fg.gov.ua domain. The only official website address is https://www.fg.gov.ua/.” - the Deposit Guarantee Fund for Individuals.
Which domains fraudsters use
Malefactors are creating fake websites whose addresses differ only slightly from the Fund’s official domain. One of the domains fraudsters use is fg-gov.in.ua.
Messages from such addresses can look convincing: fraudsters copy the Fund’s layout and use the institution’s logo, but any domain with additional characters, different letters or a different domain ending does not belong to the Fund.
The danger of phishing sites and the Fund’s response
Following a phishing link may lead to theft of banking details, personal data or to a device being infected with malicious software. Card details, passwords or other confidential information entered on a fake page can end up in the hands of fraudsters.
Fund specialists are already working to block fraudulent resources and plan to contact law-enforcement agencies to stop the phishing mailouts.
Size of payments to depositors and official channels
The Deposit Guarantee Fund ensures payments to clients of insolvent banks. In October 2026 depositors of such banks received 1.6 million UAH in guaranteed compensation; the total amount of payments since the Fund began operating has reached 105.1 billion UAH.
More than 2 million depositors received money - that’s 96.1% of those who applied for compensation. Guaranteed compensation should be obtained only through the Fund’s official channels and authorised agent banks, and the Fund does not run lotteries or prize draws and does not offer special terms for placing deposits.
