The National Bank of Ukraine has determined the procedure for the NBU’s electronic payment system (SEP) and the banking system in the period of the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026.
This was reported by the press service of the regulator.
The NBU noted that during this period, as throughout 2025, the SEP will work 24/7 with the date of the current calendar day. At the same time, the regulator took into account the appeal of the State Treasury Service regarding the limitation of work in the SEP in connection with the end of the reporting year.
On December 30, 2025, the SEP, the foreign exchange market of Ukraine, the depository of the National Bank and other NBU systems will operate as usual. Calculations by the State Treasury for the repayment and service of the state debt in foreign currency, including those with a value date of December 31, through the NBU and JSC “Ukreximbank” will be carried out until 13:00. Settlements between the State Treasury and the National Bank in the national currency with a repayment date of December 31, in particular for domestic state loan bonds, will be made until 4:00 p.m.
On December 31, 2025 and January 1, 2026, the SEP will continue to work 24/7, but payment and information messages from and to the State Treasury Service will not be accepted through the SEP. The banking system, the foreign exchange market, the NBU depository and other systems of the National Bank will operate as usual.
Also, banks are obliged to reinforce cash desks and ATMs with cash of various denominations in advance. The relevant norms are fixed by the resolution of the board of the NBU dated December 16, 2025 No. 146.
Earlier, the National Bank of Ukraine decided to keep the discount rate at 15.5% from September 12 — this level has been set since March of this year.
