The National Bank of Ukraine has increased limits on corporate card payments abroad. Cash withdrawals of up to UAH 17,500 (equivalent) are now permitted, whereas the previous limit was UAH 12,500.
“The expansion of limits will not have a significant impact on the currency market of Ukraine, given that the increase in demand for foreign currency for corporate card transactions is likely to be offset by a decrease in demand through other, less convenient channels,” the National Bank said on its website on Saturday.
It added that the second easing was an increase in the limit for payments for goods, works, and services with corporate cards abroad from UAH 100,000 to UAH 150,000 per month.
For personal cards, the limits remain unchanged: UAH 12,500 for cash withdrawals per week and UAH 100,000 for non-cash payments.
The NBU clarified that the relevant changes to “military” Resolution No. 18 of February 24, 2022, were introduced by Resolution No. 53 of the regulator’s board on May 9 of this year and came into force on May 10.
