The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) gives an opportunity to open accounts to new non-resident entities on the financial market of Ukraine, including foreign investment foundations and asset managers acting on behalf of such investment foundations, reads a posting on the NBU website.
The right to open accounts in Ukrainian financial institutions and carry out forex transactions through them by non-resident legal entities is ensured by the law of Ukraine on currency and currency operations and the law amending some laws of Ukraine on investment promotion, as well as the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement.
The NBU has updated the instruction on the procedure of opening and closing customer accounts in banks and correspondent accounts in banks for residents and non-residents.
The central bank’s board approved the new version of the document by instruction No. 56 amending some laws and regulations of the National Bank of Ukraine on April 1, 2019. The document was posted on the website of the NBU and came into effect on April 4, 2019.
The instruction regulates the procedure of opening and closing by banks of:
– client accounts of residents and non-residents (individuals and legal entities);
– correspondent accounts of residents and non-residents;
– accounts of international financial institutions and their managers under trust agreement.
The NBU said that the facilitation of the procedure of opening client accounts envisaged by the instruction will have a good effect on the business climate in Ukraine due to the cancellation of the requirement to provide samples of signatures by clients when opening bank accounts. From now on account management will be performed on grounds of the list of entitled persons without notarial certification. In addition, change of name of a legal entity will not entail closing of active accounts.
