From now on, bank branches that are part of the POWER BANKING network and will operate even during blackouts can be found in the state application Diia - on the map of Unbreakable Points.

Thanks to the NBU's cooperation with the Ministry of Digital Transformation, every Ukrainian will now be able to quickly find information about bank branches that will operate and provide the banking services necessary for customers in the event of long-term power and communication outages. “Displaying the map of POWER BANKING branches in the Diia app is another important step in ensuring public safety and convenient access to banking services in emergency situations. We are grateful to our colleagues from the Ministry of Digital Transformation for its implementation,” said NBU Governor Andriy Pyshnyi. To view the map of the Unbreakable Points in Diia, go to the Services section in the menu - Unbreakable. POWER BANKING branches can be easily found on the map among the general list of Unbreakable Points by selecting the “Banking” convenience. This will provide users with prompt and convenient access to the necessary banking services in the face of unpredictable wartime circumstances. Also, if necessary, the map can be downloaded to your gadget for offline use.

We remind you that POWER BANKING is a unified network of Ukrainian bank branches created at the initiative of the NBU that is capable of providing banking services in a crisis situation, in particular during a prolonged blackout. This unique project has united almost all banks in the country and currently includes about 2,400 bank branches across Ukraine, which are equipped with alternative energy sources and backup communication channels, enhanced cash collection, and additional staff. This is almost 55% of the total number of bank branches (excluding non-operational branches and those located in the occupied territories and territories where military operations are ongoing/possible).

For reference.

A map of POWER BANKING network branches is also available on the NBU website.
