The volunteer says that the military were given collection beads because they are suitable for the front line
The armored collection vehicles are suitable for use at the front, and volunteers have previously handed them over to the military. This was stated by Mariana Koval, coordinator of the Frontline Pickup volunteer initiative, in an exclusive commentary to UNN.
"We used to give [the military - ed.] cash collection beads because they were armored, and they fit because they are armored. Except for some bank buses, which are on low wheels, they are front-wheel drive, and we changed the landing there... I don't remember the correct name of this procedure, but we raised the car - put bigger wheels to make it more powerful, better to drive," Koval said.
She noted that armored collection vehicles are generally suitable for use at the front.

Co-founder of Concord Bank Olena Sosiedka appealed to the Deposit Guarantee Fund to not hold an auction for the sale of the bank's armored collection car, but to donate it to the military
Soldiers of the 204th separate battalion of territorial defense of Kyiv, which is currently on the front line, call on the Deposit Guarantee Fund to heed the proposal of the shareholders of Concord Bank and transfer the armored vehicle for sale to the army.
Concorde Bank has been under the management of the DGF since the NBU announced its decision to liquidate the bank. Currently, according to the Fund, the payment of the claims of the 9th priority of creditors (shareholders and related parties) is already underway - this is the last priority. At the time of the start of the liquidation procedure, the bank was profitable, and there was no need to sell assets to make all payments. However, the DGF decided to hold an auction to sell the bank's collection vehicle.
The official website of the Guarantee Fund contains information on the auction for the sale of a light-duty cargo van - B Volkswagen Transporter (specialized with armored protection PCSA-3, year of manufacture - 2013) on January 3, 2024. The vehicle is also accompanied by tires, load-bearing vests and protective plates belonging to Concord Bank.
"We are appealing to the Foundation to transfer this vehicle to the military as well, because thanks to the armor, such vehicles are able to perform operations related to the approach directly to the ground.
For our team, charity is a way of life. We hope that the Foundation will listen to our request and take into account the needs of the military," wrote Olena Sosiedka.
She also added that the bank's shareholders are ready to reduce the payments due to them by the amount of the car's value.
