“Keeping the preferential tariff is not an easy decision for the bank, but for us social responsibility and support of Ukrainian business is the main priority. We offer to support our initiative from the international payment systems MasterCard and Visa and to cancel the increase in the interchange rate from December 1, 2022, which forces banks to increase tariffs,” said PrivatBank’s board member for small and medium-sized businesses Yevhen Zaigraev.
