Kompanion — Ukraine's independent finance portal
Kompanion — a navigator for money decisions
Kompanion is Ukraine’s independent finance portal. We don’t write “paid bank rankings” and we don’t give investment advice. Our job is simpler and more useful: help you make a money decision without spending three evenings comparing websites.
# Who this is for
- Active bank customers — pick a deposit, credit card, mortgage; exchange currency; open a self-employed account.
- Ukrainian sole proprietors and freelancers — accounts, taxes, international payments (Wise, Payoneer, PayPal), CRM and automation for small business.
- Ukrainians abroad — remittances home, currency conversion, tax filing, working with foreign banks.
# What we do
1. We compare financial products. 21 banks, deposit rates by term and currency, loans, insurance, crypto exchanges. Refreshed weekly from primary sources (bank sites, NBU), not from ad banners.
2. We give calculators that tell the truth. Deposit after taxes and inflation. Loan with real annual rate (not “monthly”). International transfer cost. Self-employed taxes with payment calendar. Not “bank’s unique offer,” but your real case.
3. We write practical guides. How to open a sole-proprietorship online via Diia. How to close a mortgage via єОселя at 3% and 7%. How to withdraw PayPal in Ukraine. How to file crypto tax. We explain complex things in human language, not banker-speak.
4. We review business tech. AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude), no-code platforms, CRM, automation — with ROI math and real Ukrainian pricing. Separate section: Business Tech.
