Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – January 18, 2021 – Society
The National Bank has allowed the use of digital passports in the Diya mobile application to make money transfers outside Ukraine and abroad.
From now on, banks and non-bank financial institutions will be able to conduct such transactions on the basis of e-passports if there are technological possibilities, the NBU said on Facebook.
At the same time, by continuing currency liberalization, the National Bank lifted a number of restrictions that have lost their relevance. In particular:
- legal entities are allowed to conduct operations on sale of foreign currency on a “forward” basis;
-
individuals are allowed to conduct operations on purchase and sale of foreign currency for hryvnia on the terms of “forward”, as well as operations on purchase and sale of foreign currency and bank metals on the terms of marginal trade;

- individuals are allowed to make payments in foreign currency when buying government securities denominated in foreign currency;
-
resident individuals are allowed to conduct transactions on a “swap” basis (the first part of which provides for the sale of foreign currency / bank metals by the bank to the client).
Such decisions are contained in the Resolution of the Board of the NBU of January 15, 2021 № 3 “On Amendments to Certain Legal Acts of the National Bank of Ukraine” , which entered into force on January 17, 2021.
