Banks will categorize clients: who will have transfer limits from February 1.

Starting from February 1, new restrictions on transfers via bank cards will come into effect in our country.

The National Institute for Strategic Studies announced this through its analyst, Ivan Us, during the Kyiv24 program.

According to him, individuals with unreliable income will be considered unreliable by the state and new restrictions will apply to them when making card transfers.

According to the analyst, the idea is very simple: if a person does not have confirmed income, then this is already considered as unreliability. This does not mean that they are a bad person. But if a person receives or transfers significant amounts of money that exceed their income, then doubts arise regarding their reliability. Thus, citizens will be divided into groups depending on the level of income they have,' - the analyst explained.

Us also noted that the status of volunteers will be taken into account, and if they have confirmed income, these restrictions will not apply to them.

New transfer restrictions

Starting from February 1, new restrictions on transfers via bank cards will be established. Clients with 'high' risk will have a limit of up to 50 thousand hryvnias per month, while clients with medium and low risk will have a limit of up to 150 thousand hryvnias.

The analyst explained that these restrictions will not apply to volunteers with confirmed status. However, if you are gifted or transferred a significant amount of money, you need to obtain the bank's consent for such an operation.
