In Ukraine, preparations are underway to expand the automatic debt-collection system to all banks and other financial institutions. Starting from 23 October, enforcement officers will be able to locate debtors’ funds more quickly, seize them, and carry out forced withdrawals within the framework of enforcement proceedings.
This is written by “Unified News.”
Justice Minister Denys Maslov said that the automatic debt-collection mechanism is currently already operating for customers of state banks. The next stage is connecting the rest of Ukraine’s banks so that enforcement officers can receive information about debtors’ accounts and direct identified funds toward repaying arrears.
According to the minister, the Ministry of Justice plans to connect all banks within October. Among the debts to be collected using the system, he separately named arrears on alimony payments.
The changes are provided by Order of the Ministry of Justice No. 1837/5 of 9 July 2026, adopted within the framework of Law No. 4833‑IX on the digitalization of enforcement proceedings. The date of entry into force of the new rules is set as 23 October 2026.
Not only state and commercial banks will join the automated enforcement system. It will also cover non-bank payment service providers, electronic money issuers, and other financial institutions.
This will allow state and private enforcement agents to work not only with debtors’ bank accounts but also with electronic wallets and electronic money. It concerns debt collection within the legally established procedure, and not arbitrary withdrawals of money from the banks’ clients’ cards.
Document exchange between enforcement officers and financial institutions will occur through secure application programming interfaces (APIs). This will be the method for transmitting requests about accounts, orders to impose or lift seizures, and payment instructions for forced withdrawals.
Financial institutions will be required to check the arrival of new documents from enforcement officers hourly. Information about the debtor’s account presence, details, and balances must be provided no later than within one working hour.
Automation will also cover the final stage of collection. After completing the legally prescribed procedures, the enforcement officer will be able to prepare a payment instruction to withdraw the necessary amount and transfer it to repay the debt. Electronic money can also be repaid, and the received funds can be transferred to the account of the enforcement service or a private enforcement officer.
