Money 24/7 money exchange network, which in 2024 signed a partnership agreement with Dynamo Kyiv, has been operating without a license for more than a year. This is stated in a Bihus.Info article.
Last year, the National Bank of Ukraine licensed the company revoked due to the provision of false information. However, at least Kyiv exchange points operating under this brand continued to operate. Moreover, the brand continues to actively advertise on social networks and even after losing its license signed a sponsorship agreement with the football club Dynamo Kyiv.
According to data from the company’s website, it has 36 branches in 25 cities. The highest concentration is in Kharkiv, where 8 points have been opened. In Kyiv, at least two points operate. None of them are listed in the National Bank of Ukraine’s official registry, where “white” exchange offices are entered.
When journalists tried to exchange currency at the capital’s Money 24/7 branches, they noticed consumer corners that were empty. There is no information there at all, including the name of the legal entity that runs the points. This information was not found on the so‑called “receipts” issued during the exchange. These are simply slips with the date and amount of the transaction. Cashiers and guards at the branches told journalists that they could simply issue a refund if something was unsatisfactory.
Interestingly, until 2024 year the network operated through LLC “Financial Company Artem.” But after the license was revoked, the firm changed its name to “Knitted Mosaic,” changed the owner, the place of registration, and the OKVED — now it is engaged in textiles.
On the brand’s social media pages there are several individuals who describe themselves as involved in the network. The most active among them is blogger Anton Dyachenko, who calls himself a cofounder of Money 24/7. His Instagram is filled with videos from conferences, especially on betting and gaming.
Brand vehicles of the network are registered to the company “Legion 1913,” which is engaged in security activities. Among its owners is Andriy Smirnov, who is registered for both the Money 24/7 trademark and a new company with a similar name “Mani24.7 Agency.” It should be understood that Smirnov himself is the owner of the network.
While journalists were still working on the issue, the National Bank of Ukraine released a separate press release warning citizens about the risks of cooperation with financial institutions that operate “outside the legal field of Ukraine.” The list includes Money 24/7.
