At the beginning of 2025, the operation of the Electronic Payments System of the National Bank of Ukraine (EPS) will be reformatted. While this system typically operates 24/7, there will be restrictions at the end of the year due to the completion of the reporting period.
Specifically, on December 30 and 31, 2025, the calculations of the State Treasury Service of Ukraine in hryvnias will be accepted until 16:00, and for payments in foreign currency - until 13:00. However, on December 31 and January 1 of the following year, the EPS will operate in regular mode but will not process payment and information messages from the State Treasury of Ukraine.
Operation of financial institutions on these days
During this period, the banking system of Ukraine, the foreign exchange market, the depository of the National Bank, and other financial systems will operate in regular mode without any restrictions.
Usually, throughout the year, the EPS operates 24/7, but at the end of 2025, certain restrictions will be imposed due to the completion of the working period. The banking system will function normally without any restrictions. It is important to consider this to avoid possible delays and misunderstandings in financial transactions on the specified dates.
