At the UAFIN.TECH 2025 conference, an important issue was discussed - the integration of financial services and innovative payment tools in retail. The director of the Payment Systems and Innovative Development Department of the NBU, Andriy Poddierhihin, emphasized the importance of developing competition in the financial market so that retailers and their customers have the opportunity to choose the most convenient payment methods.
One of the promising methods has become instant payment, which is already available to Ukrainian consumers. This allows receiving funds in 10 seconds - quickly and conveniently. Retailers' interest in using this method indicates its popularity and prospects.
The National Bank plays an important role in this process by creating the necessary infrastructure and standards for the development of new opportunities for retailers and their customers. This will promote the spread and convenience of using innovative payment tools.
