Ukraine, with a population of around 32.86 million people, has a GDP of approximately 205.74 billion making it the 56th largest economy in the world. The official currency of Ukraine is the Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH)
The economy's main drivers are agriculture (grains, sunflower oil), heavy industry (steel), and a growing IT sector. It has a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area with the European Union, which is its primary trading partner.
The preferred payment method in Ukraine is the credit or debit card, with a very high penetration of contactless payments made via physical cards or digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Privat24, the mobile app from the country's largest bank, functions as a de facto payment platform for transfers and bill payments. While there has been a rapid shift to digital, physical cash in the form of the Hryvnia is still in use.
Whatever you need to buy during your trip, whether it’s a travel adapter, train ticket or an extra bottle of sunscreen, the Wise Multi-Currency Card has you covered.
You can spend like a local in 150+ countries, as this clever contactless card automatically converts currency at the mid-market exchange rate whenever you spend - for just a small conversion fee.
And for extra convenience, you can add your Wise Multi-Currency Card to your Google Wallet or Apple Wallet. Then you can travel even lighter and pay using just your phone, with no need to pack the physical card.
