Financial cards and payments in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, the development of Ukraine’s financial cards and payments market continued to be heavily influenced by Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine. Despite the challenging circumstances, including widespread attacks on cities and frequent power outages disrupting merchants, ATMs, and bank branches, the industry demonstrated remarkable resilience.
2024 key trends
Despite the difficult environment, the market continued its shift from cash to card payments, with card transactions accounting for the majority of payments in current value terms. By 2024, contactless payments had become standard, and the adoption of digital wallets - particularly Google Pay and Apple Pay – has been steadily rising.
Competitive landscape
In terms of card issuance, the market remains dominated by PrivatBank, Universal Bank, Oschadbank, and Raiffeisen Bank. Smaller players focus on niche segments, creating a highly polarised landscape marked by concentration at the top and fragmentation among smaller competitors, without much middle ground.
What next for financial cards and payments?
Ukraine’s financial cards and payments market will continue to be shaped by the country’s security situation and geopolitical dynamics. Sustained financial, military and humanitarian support from the US and EU remains essential for the economy, including the financial sector.
