The NBU is preparing inspections of key payment players: who will be checked
29 December 15:46
In 2026, the National Bank of Ukraine plans to conduct on-site monitoring of four overseas facilities – payment market participants that play a key role in the functioning of the country’s payment infrastructure.
This is stated in a message on the regulator’s website, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
Who will be inspected and when
According to the published schedule, the NBU has planned the following inspections:
- I quarter of 2026 – JSC “A-Bank”
- II quarter – LLC “FC EVO”
- III quarter – ACD Processing LLC
- IV quarter – PJSC “Ukrainian Processing Center”
This is on-site monitoring as part of the oversight function, i.e., supervision over the stability and security of payment systems.
What exactly will the regulator check
According to the NBU, the monitoring will assess
- compliance with the requirements of Ukrainian legislation
- adequacy of risk management measures;
- the ability to ensure the continuous, reliable, and efficient functioning of the payment infrastructure.
Such inspections are not sanctioning in nature, but their results may become the basis for recommendations or regulatory decisions.
Among those scheduled for inspection is FC EVO LLC, a payment solutions technology operator that works with RozetkaPay and cooperates with large marketplaces: Rozetka, Prom, Shafa, and others. The company serves a significant part of online payments in the Ukrainian e-commerce ecosystem.
JSC A-Bank, which is to be inspected first, is owned by the Surkis family and is among the prominent retail banks with its own payment products.
The other participants – processing companies – provide the technical side of payment processing, without which bank cards and online payments cannot work.
The announcement of the 2026 oversight schedule comes amid the regulator’s increased focus on the resilience of the financial and payment infrastructure, especially in times of war, cyberattacks, and the growth of cashless payments.
