Limit on card transfers: nuances explained by the National Bank.

The National Bank has limited money transfers

Member of the NBU Board, Doctor of Economic Sciences Vasyl Furman, commented on the National Bank's restrictions on card money transfers.

As "Khvylya" reports, he announced this on the air of a telethon.

The National Bank has set a temporary limit between individuals for the next six months. From October 1 of this year, the NBU will temporarily impose a limit of 150 thousand hryvnias per month for individual transfers "from card to card" or P2P. This restriction only applies to outgoing transfers from all client accounts opened in one financial institution to the accounts of other individuals.

Furman noted that 98% of citizens will not feel the changes from the limit of 150 thousand hryvnias per month.

He explained that drops are individuals who rent out their card to any other individual who can use it at their discretion.

Usually, a huge sum of money is transferred through such a card. These are million-dollar amounts. The portrait of a drop is a person who either does not have a job or has a job with a low official salary. And it is clear that when you receive, say, 12 thousand hryvnias official salary, but 5 million hryvnias are transferred through your card over some period, doubts and questions arise: "What is this?", - said the member of the National Bank Board.

Furman also noted that these drops are usually used for tax optimization or servicing the shadow economy.

Earlier it was reported that banks can close an account without warning.
