All Ukrainian banks will join the PROSTIR national payment system.

100% of Ukraine’s terminals will accept cards from the national PROSTIR card payment system, the NBU reported. This will result from  UKRSIBBANK joining the PROSTIR system and configuring all its terminals to be compatible with the corresponding cards. The terminal network will be updated in stages lasting until the end of 2022. “Now, every Ukrainian will have the opportunity to carry out cashless payments using payment cards from any payment system and in every corner of Ukraine. This opportunity has acquired special significance under martial law conditions,” emphasized Andriy Poddyerohin, director of the specialized department of the NBU. According to the director, ensuring acceptance of PROSTIR cards throughout Ukraine’s entire payment infrastructure is one of the leading goals of the Financial Sector Development Strategy of Ukraine by 2025.
