In the morning 15 of August, problems with cashless payments are being observed across Ukraine. PrivatBank reports an issue with the operation of its services.
As reported by users online, in supermarkets and other retail outlets across the country, payments by bank cards and through payment terminals go with difficulty or do not go through at all. In some cases funds are debited, but the payment does not go through. Long lines are forming in stores and supermarkets due to the outage. PrivatBank confirmed the problem with service operations. Specialists are currently working on restoring service. "There are currently difficulties in the operation of several services, but our team is addressing the issue. Everything will return to normal soon," said the bank's press service.
As a reminder, we previously reported that PrivatBank introduced new limits on foreign exchange operations in accordance with the National Bank of Ukraine's decision, which since 11 August 2026 of this year has expanded opportunities for individuals. Also recently PrivatBank added a new service to the single application "Privat24." Now entrepreneurs will be able to manage finances, reporting, and obligatory payments easily from a smartphone.
