One of the main headaches when exchanging currency in Ukraine is ‘old-style’ banknotes (issued before 2013). Many people have been collecting such US dollars for years, only to be refused at the exchange bureaux or offered an undervalued exchange rate.
However, the National Bank explicitly states that there are no legal grounds for refusing to exchange banknotes on the basis of their year of issue or design. The reason for the refusals lies not in the law, but in the older security features on the banknotes. Cashiers are often afraid of making a mistake when checking authenticity, so they opt for the simplest solution – refusing the customer or offering a rate 5–10 per cent below the market rate.
Before exchanging dollars, take a look at the following tips to help you avoid any unpleasant situations:
There have been cases where a cashier counts out the correct amount, then claims it is short and returns the money – so it’s best to count it straight away, on the spot.
Some exchange bureaux may hide commission fees, so it’s best to ask about this before, rather than after, the exchange.
For large sums, choose reputable, licensed exchange bureaux rather than ‘under-the-counter’ deals or dubious locations.
Ask for the banknotes to be checked with a counterfeit detector if the amount is substantial – it takes a minute but removes any doubts.
Keep the receipt or transaction slip, as this is your proof in the event of a dispute.
At the “Pid Gradusnikom” exchange office, all these points are standard practice, not a service provided on request.
No. Ukrainians are complaining en masse precisely about the different exchange rates depending on the year of issue of the banknotes, and members of the relevant Verkhovna Rada committee emphasise that this constitutes a breach by currency exchange bureaux. If you have encountered this, it is grounds for lodging a complaint with the NBU.
Yes, this is known as a cross-rate – the direct conversion of one foreign currency into another, which is sometimes more favourable than exchanging via the hryvnia, and sometimes not. Please ask the cashier for the current cross-rate – we’ll work out both options so you can choose the more favourable one.
There are no restrictions – we accept amounts from as little as 1 dollar. However, if you’re unsure or wish to exchange an unusual amount, please give us a call to check in advance.
Please ring us on +38 (095) 801-23-14 or +38 (068) 076-30-00 – we’ll have the correct amount ready before you arrive, so you won’t have to waste time queuing at the till.
