Among the international organizations, NABU closely cooperates with the International Monetary Fund, the EBRD, the World Bank and the IFC International Finance Corporation, Sparkasse, the USAID, GIZ, EFSE, McKinsey & Company, Finalta, GfK, and many others.

During its existence the Association has signed memorandums on cooperation and partnership with such state authorities as the National Bank of Ukraine, the Parliamentary Committee on Finance and Banking, Tax and Customs Policy, the State Tax Service of Ukraine, the Deposit Guarantee Fund, the National Financial Services Commission, The Ministry of Agrarian Policy of Ukraine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and the State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine.
