Starting from 1 August, new rules come into effect for Ukrainians. On paper receipts for utilities and other payments, Ukrposhta will print the payer's personal data.
What changes and why Ukrposhta is implementing them
The changes are being implemented at the request of the National Bank, as reported by Ukrposhta.
We are talking about the following data:
full name;
the payer's RNO KPI (tax number);
the full bank card number (for card payments or top-ups).
The point is that financial service providers (banks, postal operators) are obliged to print clients' data on paper receipts.
Ukrposhta strongly disagrees with these requirements, considering that they conflict with international data protection standards,
— according to the statement.

Ukrposhta announced that they have appealed to the National Bank, the government, the Verkhovna Rada, and the Ombudsman for Human Rights with a proposal to reconsider the decision.
Until the decision is changed, Ukrposhta is obliged to comply with it. In particular, the company emphasized that it has done everything possible to simplify the process for customers.
If a person has already provided Ukrposhta with their RNO KPI when receiving social benefits or other services, there is no need to report it again.
If the data are absent in the system, the operator will ask to provide them only once.
The CEO of Ukrposhta, Ihor Smilyanskyi, commented on the current situation. He wrote that he apologizes in advance to all customers and asks them to understand this situation.
All information about payments of JSC Ukrposhta, in accordance with the law, is stored electronically,
— Smilyanskyi added.
Ukrainians should also make sure to dispose of receipts at home. But if they have no need for them.
We note that a new bill has been registered in the Verkhovna Rada. It provides for abolishing the VAT exemption for international postal items valued up to 150 euro.
