Banks, payments and financial institutions continue to operate and conduct due diligence on their clients “only within the framework of the financial monitoring law, applying a risk-based approach.”
The National Bank reported that the information about blocking bank accounts for frequent withdrawals is in fact false. The press service of the NBU reported this on Wednesday, December 8.
Earlier, media channels and Telegram began to spread information about the blocking of cards due to frequent withdrawals of money, citing the “recommendations of the National Bank of Ukraine to strengthen financial monitoring in Ukraine .” However, as the regulator notes, these messages do not indicate specific documents.
“However, there are no requirements in any recommendations, letters, regulations or other official documents of the NBU to block accounts for such transactions!” – said the message.
It was noted that banks, payment and financial institutions continue to operate and conduct due diligence on their clients “exclusively within the framework of the financial monitoring law, using a risk-based approach.”
The NBU advises to always trust only verified information from the official sources of the National Bank and not to accept false news spread by unknown Telegram channels and unscrupulous media to “undermine the trust of citizens in the financial sector of Ukraine.”
Earlier, the NBU announced the easing of some restrictions on foreign exchange, which should support domestic producers and improve business conditions.
