Not only in Oschadbank: Ukrainians are allowed to receive pensions in any bank, but not for everyone.

Ukrainians are allowed to receive pensions in any bank

The press service of the Ministry of Social Policy reported that elderly pensioners who left the occupied areas can now receive pensions in any bank. The government of Ukraine has decided to expand the opportunities for receiving pensions for this category of citizens. Previously, this was only possible through Oschadbank.

Now pensioners do not need to present documents about their status as internally displaced persons to receive pension payments. In addition, they can contact any authorized bank in Ukraine or use the services of Ukrposhta to receive their funds.

• in person at the Pension Fund of Ukraine (PFU),
• online through the PFU web portal,
• by submitting an application to the new bank.

• to undergo physical identification (the procedure for establishing the identity of the pension recipient) by December 31 annually;
• to carry out spending operations using a pension account bank card at least once every six months.

Pensioners living in occupied territories must officially notify the Pension Fund of Ukraine that they are not receiving pensions from Russia. This can be done through an official application for the appointment, restoration, or continuation of pension payments or a separate application in free form.

Ukrainians can more easily receive their pensions, regardless of where they live. This will contribute to the convenience and speed of obtaining the necessary financial resources for elderly citizens.
