Scammers from KIT Group are expanding their activities despite the actions of the NBU — State Financial Monitoring Service and the Security Service are inactive.
On Telegram they are actively promoting channels from the fraudulent group under the brand kyt_express, which sells money transfers. It does not have an NBU license for this. The regulator has already explicitly listed this Telegram in the ban.
The channel “KIT Express | Money Transfers” (@ kyt_express) positions itself as a service for instant transfers within Ukraine and abroad — “without paperwork and without limits on the amount,” “with 16-years of experience.” The header lists the websites kyttransfer com, kyttransfer com/world and kyt-china com (transfers to China). Separately, the network also operates in KIT Group’s currency exchange channels.
A separate detail — the privacy policy on kyttransfer com states that it refers to another site — sendkytukr com, which has been blocked due to possible fraud. By the way, the site also states that the group has a branch in the aggressor country.
What they are selling exactly
The product is crypto transfers: within Ukraine, “to the world” and to China, plus a tie-in with offline exchange points under the KIT brand. For the client it looks like a convenient Telegram account: you message the operator — you send the amount. For the law this is already a financial payment service: transfer of funds without opening an account. Such a service in Ukraine requires an NBU license and registration in the payment infrastructure registry. These sites and the channel are not in the registry.
What the National Bank did
9 October 2025 the NBU board by decision No. 370-rd directly named KIT’s channels and sites through which a service with signs of transfers without an account was provided. The decision text includes the sites kytgroup ua, kyt-obmin kyiv ua and the Telegram channels kyt_community, kyt_express and kyt_gold.
At that time the NBU:
✔️ recognized services through “KIT Group” / “KIT” as financial payment services;
✔️classified LLC “FC “Liberty Finance” (EDRPOU 39806926) as persons who carried out transfers without a license and without registration;
✔️prohibited the company itself and everyone controlled by its beneficiary Anton Tkachenko from providing such services in any form.
24 November 2025-year the regulator found Liberty Finance’s business reputation to be unsatisfactory — specifically due to unlicensed payment activity and because of the reputation of the significant owner and executives.
23 March 2026-year the NBU Committee for Non-Bank Market Supervision revoked Liberty Finance’s basic licenses: for lending and for trading cash currency. The company fell out of the legal framework of financial services. The NBU website confirmed this with a separate notice.
So the formula is: first they banned online transfers through KIT and that same @ kyt_express, then they damaged the reputation, then they revoked licenses for lending and cash exchange. After that you can’t operate “like a bank on Telegram.”
Why the channel is still alive — and what’s wrong with that
The NBU decision prohibits specific legal entities and related persons from providing the payment service. The channel can still continue to post “transfers without limits.” For the client the risk is simple: money does not go through a licensed payment provider, there are no Deposit Guarantee Fund protections, no proper financial monitoring, and if money disappears there is nowhere official to lodge a claim.
