This is written about by Oschadbank.
State Oschadbank announced a change in tariffs for servicing current accounts using payment cards. The new rules will come into effect in December 10 and will apply to operations related to gambling.
The relevant message was published by the financial institution in 6 November. The changes concern card payments with MCC 7995, which are used to designate operations in the gambling business.
This category includes transfers to bookmaker companies, transactions in casinos, and other gaming establishments. The commission will also be charged for online casino payments and the purchase of lottery tickets.
The amount of additional costs will depend on the country where the operation is performed. For payments in Ukraine, the bank will set a commission of 1% of the amount if the client uses their own funds.
For similar operations abroad, the commission will be twice as high — 2%. The tariff will apply to payments in the respective category regardless of their amount.
For example, if a Oschadbank client spends 1000 hryvnias on an operation with MCC 7995 in Ukraine, the additional commission will be 10 hryvnias. For the same payment abroad, the bank will deduct 20 hryvnias.
For an operation of 5000 hryvnias in Ukraine, an additional 50 hryvnias will have to be paid. If the same payment is made abroad, the commission will rise to 100 hryvnias.
A separate restriction concerns the use of credit funds. Oschadbank does not provide for operations with MCC 7995 using the credit limit.
This means that for settlements at bookmaker companies, casinos and other establishments in the respective category, customers will be able to use only their own money on the card account. Payment of such operations with credit funds is not provided.
The new tariffs are provided by changes to the terms of servicing current accounts with payment cards and the agreement on comprehensive banking services for individuals.
The bank will apply the commission depending on the MCC code assigned to a particular operation. It is this code that determines the belonging of a payment to the gambling category and the corresponding tariff — 1% in Ukraine or 2% abroad.
