Main points:
- New commission: A commission of 0.2% of the payment amount will be charged for the purchase of military bonds in “Diia”.
- Reason for introduction: This 0.2% is not the bank’s profit, but is solely intended to cover the transaction’s cost and support the technical infrastructure.
- Other services have become cheaper: Fees for paying taxes, fines, court fees, and administrative services in “Diia” will be reduced to 1.3% (minimum 1 hryvnia).
- Alternative options: Government securities can be purchased not only through “Diia”, but also via other banks’ apps or brokerage platforms.
Starting April 15, when purchasing military bonds in the “Diia” app, the commission will be 0.2% of the transaction amount and will be displayed as a separate line during payment.
Why the commission for bonds was introduced
Ukrgasbank, which is the official payment partner of “Diia”, notes that it does not profit from the sale of securities. This amount solely covers the transaction’s cost: payment processing and technical infrastructure support.
“The 0.2% commission is not the bank’s profit, but the cost of the transaction. Previously, we covered it ourselves, but as a state bank, we believe that these funds should work for the state,” the bank explained.
How fees for other services will change
At the same time, for a number of other types of payments in “Diia”, the commission fees will decrease. Starting April 15, they will be:
- tax payments – 1.3% (minimum 1 hryvnia);
