An important step in this regard is the adoption of a number of legislative changes.
The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine plans to hold meetings with the management of the international payment systems PayPal and Stripe to discuss their possible entry into the Ukrainian market.
"Attracting the major international electronic payment systems to Ukraine, including Stripe and PayPal, is a priority issue, which the Digital Transformation Ministry has been dealing with for about a year... We plan to meet with the management of PayPal and Stripe," a source in the ministry told UNIAN on April 7.
An important step in this regard is the adoption of a number of legislative changes, in particular, Bill No. 4364 "On Payment Services", which takes into account EU Directive PSD2, governing payment services in the European Union.
The bill has only passed its first reading so far.
