A working group of National Bank, professional organization and business company representatives has been set up to harmonize the Ukrainian legislation and regulations with the relevant regulations and directives in the EU.
The head of the Ukrainian interbank association of EMA electronic payment systems, Alexander Karpov, hailed the National Bank’s effort to facilitate the international payment systems’ access to the Ukrainian market.
The NB will ask PayPal to add the hryvniya to their currency list so that they could work with all of the country’s online shops.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin pitched an offer to the Ukrainian National Bank to let them join the country’s system of electronic payments alongside PayPal, Alexander Karpov said, adding that chances were high that both Bitcoin and PayPal would soon appear on the Ukrainian financial market.
