Payment methods in Ukraine

Hello everyone,

Once you're settled in Ukraine, you will need to make some basic purchases, like groceries or pay bills. Hence, it is essential to know the payment methods available in your host country.

Which are the most common payment methods in Ukraine? Why would you prefer some forms over others?

Does the amount of money or the type of paid services (groceries, bills, rent, etc.) determine the choice of payment methods?

Are there any apps at your disposal which make the payment process easier in Ukraine?

Can certain foreign currencies be used to make payments?

Have your habits in terms of payment methods changed since moving to Ukraine?

Thanks for sharing your experience,

Priscilla

Cash is the best payment method. I see many people shopping in grocery stores using a bank card but I only use cash. It's quick and easy. No one can steal it and use it without your knowledge :)
