Ukrposhta is simplifying everyday payments. Soon the company will stop requiring the RNOKPP (tax ID) for a number of transactions up to 5 thousand hryvnias.
What new rules is Ukrposhta introducing
The new rules will take effect after IT systems are updated and the relevant legal documents are prepared, as stated on the website.
The RNOKPP will not need to be provided when paying cash for mobile phone service;
housing and communal and other services up to 5 thousand hryvnias (except payments to the budget);
when topping up a bank card with cash up to 5 thousand hryvnias.
Ukrposhta is currently making software changes. In particular, the changes will take effect in branches after the technical update is completed
It will also be simpler for customers who make multiple transactions in one visit. If a person has already completed RNOKPP verification within a single basket, they will not need to verify again for each subsequent corresponding service,
– the statement explained.
Ukrainians were reminded that the discussion began after Ukrposhta announced it would need to implement changes starting from 1 August.

Regarding housing and communal payments – the National Bank of Ukraine provided clarification:
for cash payments, the payer's full name is sufficient;
for cashless payments, the payer's personal data are not mandatory receipt details;
the payment card number when paying by card may be displayed in masked form.
Because this position aligns with customers' interests and Ukrposhta's proposals to minimize personal data, the company adopts it as a basis and accordingly changes the service process for housing and communal payments,
– the statement added.
It is emphasized that the National Bank's position is currently set out only in a public clarification. At the same time, Ukrposhta is proposing that the central bank continue working together.
Ukrposhta CEO Ihor Smiliansky previously appealed to Ukrainians and urged them to dispose of receipts containing personal data at home if they do not need them. He added that the company stores all payment information electronically.
The National Bank published information about the situation. The regulator stated that it does not require the tax number or the full payment card number to be indicated on receipts.
