Webmoney restores work in Ukraine, but with restrictions for users

Today there was an interesting news - the fact is that the company Webmoney today is restoring its work in Ukraine, which was announced earlier. It seems that the authorities nevertheless went to meet this payment system (if you can call it "went to meet"), introducing certain restrictions that Ukrainian Webmoney users, who still withdraw / withdraw money in hryvnias, obviously do not like.

The fact is that it will be possible to withdraw no more than 4 thousand hryvnia per month, and, as far as you can understand, all this will be under the control of the authorities. In any case, it is planned to introduce some special cards with a face value of 500 UAH, which can be used in Ukraine, but not more often than 8 times a month.

Here is a paragraph from the news on one of the Ukrainian resources:

“The issuer of virtual money or its agent, according to the NBU, can receive money from individuals credited to chips in these cards or cards with access to“ electronic ”money to computer memory, as well as in exchange for money issued through an ATM. It is worth noting that users will not be able to transfer "electronic" money to each other, using the mentioned cards to replenish the account. Experts believe that the NBU wants to use the current situation with WebMoney to create the problem of the payment system. So the agency will be able to control all persons using the payment system. ”

Personally, I did not understand whether the authorities would be able to control the funds displayed on Payoneer cards, and if so, how. Most likely, this restriction applies only to those of Ukrainian WebMoney users who work with the hryvnia and Ukrainian intermediaries.

UPD . Here's more info from liga.net (thanks to L3n1n ):

“Earlier in several media reports appeared that the NBU allegedly decided to change the provisions of the decree“ On electronic money in Ukraine ”by introducing special cards with a face value of 500 UAH, which can be used no more than eight times a month. It was noted that, in this way, Ukrainians will be able to cash up to UAH 4 thousand from their e-wallet on WebMoney. in one calendar month.

»Limit of 4 thousand UAH. per month and 500 UAH. per day appeared in the new edition of the NBU resolution, and concerns chip cards agreed with the NBU electronic money. The resolution is considered until July 1, 2013. The norm on these limits does not apply to us, "said Margarita Ormotsadze, a spokeswoman for WebMoney Ukraine.
