The National Bank of Ukraine will limit the number of P2P transactions for individuals
The NBU will introduce restrictions on outgoing transfers of individuals from card to card to combat shady schemes. Forbes reports this with reference to a statement by Deputy Head of the Regulator Dmitry Oleynik.
Currently, the limit being discussed is 30 outgoing transfers per month for a total amount of no more than 100,000 hryvnia. The NBU will accept the final version within a month.
The restrictions will affect only P2P transfers and will not affect incoming payments and other transactions, in particular they will not interfere with volunteer fees.
According to Oleynik, the regulator is concerned about the widespread spread of shadow financial transactions with “drops” and “money mules.” NBU restrictions should make the work of such scammers more difficult.
At the same time, the NBU is confident that this will not affect 95-98% of bank clients, since they transfer a significantly smaller amount of funds during the month.
Let us remind you that from March 16, 2022, PrivatBank temporarily prohibited its clients from depositing hryvnia on cryptocurrency exchanges, which, however, did not affect the market of Ukrainian trading platforms. The restriction is related to the decision of the National Bank and is valid for the period of martial law.
In addition, in order to reduce the outflow of capital from the country, from the end of April of the same year, the NBU limited transactions for the purchase of cryptocurrencies to an amount of up to 100,000 hryvnia per person per month.
In March 2023, foreign cryptocurrency exchanges announced a temporary suspension of transactions through hryvnia bank cards due to the intensified fight against illegal gambling.
