Ukrainians in a frenzy over new Oschadbank rules: now you can't transfer even 100 hryvnias without SMS.


The state bank 'Oschadbank' has established a new restriction for money transfers, which has caused dissatisfaction among clients. Now, to make a transfer of more than 100 hryvnias, it is necessary to confirm the transaction via SMS. This has created problems for many users.
The bank's official Facebook page is filled with complaints from outraged Ukrainians. Military personnel and citizens in areas with mixed mobile connectivity reacted especially negatively. Due to the lack of alternative methods for transaction confirmation, these categories of clients have effectively lost the ability to manage their money.
In one of the comments, a client asks the bank about the possibility of transferring money for individuals in combat zones, where mobile communication is often unavailable. Representatives of 'Oschadbank' respond categorically: 'If a client does not receive an SMS, they cannot confirm a payment of more than 100 UAH.'
The bank also stated that it currently has no plans to change the restrictions or develop alternative methods for confirming transactions. This has provoked criticism on social media, where users emphasize that such actions by the bank limit clients' access to their money without offering any solutions to the problem.
