Restrictions on card-to-card transfers

Starting from 1 October 2024, the National Bank of Ukraine introduced temporary restrictions on the amount of card-to-card transfers by individuals. These measures were introduced to prevent the payment infrastructure from being used for illegal purposes.

From now on, the maximum amount that can be transferred from one card to another within a month is UAH 150,000. This restriction applies to all outgoing transfers from all customer accounts opened with the same bank.

It is worth noting that the restriction will be in effect temporarily, for six months - until 31 March 2025.

How do I withdraw funds from foreign cards in Ukraine?

First of all, it is important to know that most foreign cards, such as Visa or Mastercard, are widely accepted in Ukraine.
