18 August , 2022  

The State PrivatBank (Kyiv) and the MasterCard international payment system have launched contactless fare payment at all metro stations in Dnipro, the bank’s press service reported on Thursday.
“In August 2022, as part of the program with MasterCard, the bank installed turnstiles with contactless payment technology with a bank card at four more stations of the Dniprovsky metro – Metrostroiteley, Prospekt Svobody, Metallurgov and Zavodskaya. Now you can pay for travel with a card or smartphone at all metro stations,” the statement said.
For two years of operation of such turnstiles at the stations “Vokzalnaya” and “Pokrovskaya” in the Dnieper, more than 420 thousand trips were paid contactlessly.
The press service noted that the Dnipro metro has become the second metro in Ukraine after the Kyiv one, where you can pay for travel with a card or an NFC device right at the turnstile.
