The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is implementing the “Digital Finance Future Ukraine” advisory project in Ukraine with an estimated total budget of $2.83 million, aimed at developing digital financial services and attracting private capital, according to the corporation’s website.
According to the IFC, the project aims to expand access to financing for the general public and small and medium-sized businesses by promoting digital financial services as part of Ukraine’s recovery efforts.
The project involves collaboration with government agencies, financial institutions, fintech companies, as well as participants in the venture capital and private equity markets.
It is noted that the project, approved by the IFC on May 6, 2026, consists of three components.
The first component aims to align Ukrainian legislation and the regulatory environment in the field of digital financial services with European Union standards.
The second component is aimed at modernizing financial infrastructure and attracting private capital to the fintech sector, in particular through the development of open banking, venture capital, and direct investments.
The third component is designed to promote cooperation, innovation, and regional integration of the fintech market, as well as to provide its participants with the tools and knowledge needed to expand digital financial services and broaden access to capital.
The project is expected to be completed by March 31, 2030.
According to data on the IFC website, since the start of the full-scale invasion, the amount of financing provided by the corporation in Ukraine had reached $2.8 billion as of February 2026; in particular, over $1 billion was mobilized from partners and donors.
