Depositing cash through terminals (PTC) to credit the account will require the payer to enter a cell phone number on the terminal screen, receive a one-time password on it and enter it on the terminal screen, confirming consent to perform the payment operation, the National Bank of Ukraine said.
“From August 1, 2023 requisites are added to receipts, which are formed when carrying out cash transactions with the use of payment devices, in particular, through PTCs. Thus, receipts for cash deposit transactions via PTKS for its crediting into accounts shall additionally contain the cell phone number of the payer,” reads a statement on its website on Friday.
At the same time, the NBU points out that this requirement doesn’t apply to such popular terminal payments as utility bills, payments for train tickets, urban and suburban transport fares, top-up travel and transport cards, payments for taxes, fines, administrative fees, charges and other payments to the budget.
Such rules are stipulated by the regulations of the National Bank № 90 of June 30, 2023, the release said.
