The new expansion is expected to enable PayPal users in Ukraine to send money to and receive money from outside the country, as well as domestically.
Earlier this month, the company announced it was exiting Russia because of the country’s “violent aggression” against Ukraine. Ukrainian PayPal customers could only use the payment platform to send money outside of the country.
PayPal’s intention is to make life easier for Ukrainians to receive financial support from family and loved ones who live abroad and be able to send funds directly to their bank account by linking their Visa or Mastercard debit or credit card.
