The bank was founded in January 1992 with its headquarters in Kiev. Bank services a considerable proportion of export and import activities. It acts as the sole financial agent of the Government of Ukraine with respect to loans from foreign financial institutions, which are originated, borrowed or guaranteed by Ukraine. Ukreximbank has the widest amidst Ukrainian banks foreign network of correspondents. Bank network includes 83 branches, 692 ATMs and SSTs (as of January 2017)[5] covering all regions of Ukraine.

In April 2015 the bank successfully extended its 2015 eurobonds [8] despite objections from a group of bondholders including Bence Sardi that advocated the full repayment of the notes in time.[9] The bank had the capacity to pay, but refused, requesting extension on the grounds the government needed to adhere liquidity targets specified in the IMF request for aid.[10]
