However, according to the National Bank of Ukraine, this information is false.
The NBU clarified that such provisions do not exist in any of its official recommendations, letters, regulations, or other documents. The statements reference so-called "NBU recommendations for strengthening financial monitoring," yet no specific documents supporting these claims are provided.
In its statement, the NBU emphasized that banks, payment systems, and financial institutions operate solely within the framework of current laws on financial monitoring. They conduct client checks using a risk-based approach, as required by law, without arbitrary account freezes for such transactions.
The NBU urged citizens to rely only on verified information from official sources and warned against believing in fake news spread by anonymous Telegram channels.
