The Ukrainian fintech group Fondy raises a difficult compliance question. In the UK, Fondy Ltd is an FCA-authorised EMI with minimal reported turnover and repeated losses. In Austria, its ultimate parent V & A Holding GmbH entered insolvency in Feb 2026. Valeriia Vahorovska and Ronny Pecik are its shareholders. In Ukraine, the NBU cancelled the participation of LLC FC “Alliance”, operating under the Fondy brand, in Visa and Mastercard payment systems after receiving documented information indicating national-security risks.
