Since the beginning of martial law on February 24, 2022, the banking and financial sectors of the economy have undergone significant changes, including legal regulation. Several mechanisms of banks' financial monitoring are no exception in that regard, as they were adopted, in varying degrees, to the needs of the Ukrainian present. Considering the importance of the mechanisms for preventing and combating money laundering, terrorist financing, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction during the war, we discussed key innovations in the banks' financial monitoring issues which will be applicable until the end of martial law in Ukraine.
During the event, we discussed:
1. New rules of financial monitoring provided by the resolution of the NBU Board № 60 of March 23, 2022 (with further changes and additions):
- Financial transactions which do not require the establishment of sources of origin during martial law
- The procedure for banks cash transferring to the accounts of individuals in the amount of more than 400 000 UAH
- Simplified procedure for identification and verification of military bonds’ buyers
- Features of updating customer data and the use of identifying documents
2. New rules of financial monitoring provided by the Law of Ukraine № 2120-IX of 15.03.2022:
- Features of bank customers' cash deposits to current accounts during martial law
