This concerns withdrawing funds more than three times a month, particularly in large amounts, as well as the frequent use of cash loans.
The regulator's press service pointed out that the media refers to "recommendations from the National Bank of Ukraine to enhance financial monitoring in Ukraine," without specifying any particular documents. However, the National Bank emphasized that there are no requirements for blocking accounts for conducting such operations in any recommendations, letters, regulatory acts, or other official documents.
"Banks, payment, and financial institutions continue to operate and conduct proper checks on their clients solely within the framework of legislation on financial monitoring, applying a risk-oriented approach. We advise always trusting only verified information from official sources of the National Bank and not taking seriously fake news spread by anonymous Telegram channels and unscrupulous media, which aim to undermine public trust in Ukraine's financial sector," the statement said.
