The National Bank of Ukraine (hereinafter referred to as the “NBU”) warns citizens about the risks of using financial services or services that have attributes of financial services provided by institutions operating outside the legal field of Ukraine. First of all, we are talking about institutions that provide loans to individuals without complying with the requirements of applicable laws of Ukraine and avoiding the relevant supervision of the NBU, including by disguising lending services as other transactions and legal schemes. Such transactions pose a significant threat to the financial security of consumers and likely violate consumer rights guaranteed by Ukrainian law and secured by the Regulator.
