A disruption occurred at the state-owned PrivatBank on 15 August. Users noticed it and the company's press service later confirmed it.
"There are currently difficulties in the operation of several services, but our team is resolving the issue. Everything will return to its usual rhythm soon," PrivatBank informed on Threads, without going into details.
There is no official release on the website.
Instead, users online described the problem in more detail. Ukrainians from various regions complain that PrivatBank terminals stopped working, and in some supermarkets it is impossible to pay by card. In some cases funds are debited but the payment does not go through. Users advise carrying cash if you plan to go to a store.
"PrivatBank announced today that some of their services are not working. So for everyone who tried to pay with a Privat card, the payment is being declined. Payments from the mobile app are working," one bank customer wrote on Threads.
"Will funds be returned immediately after restoration?" asked a user named Dmytro under the bank's post. Other users asked the same question. People emphasize that funds were withdrawn from their cards when paying, but they did not reach the recipient.
Some Threads posters also complained about the bank's communication with customers, noting that if a global problem occurred, it would have been appropriate to send everyone a notification in Privat24 about it.
