On the morning of Monday, April 20, 2026, Ukrainians received some bad news from the financial market—foreign currency rates had risen significantly.
After the weekend, both commercial banks and currency exchange offices raised their rates, setting new local highs.
Official data shows that over the past two days, the cash dollar rate at banks has risen by 35 kopecks.
The jump in the European currency was even more pronounced, rising by 48 kopecks at once, forcing buyers to prepare significantly larger amounts in hryvnia equivalent.
“The dollar rose by 35 kopecks in banks, while the euro jumped by 48 kopecks. The average selling rate for the dollar reached 44.20 UAH, and the euro crossed the 52.25 UAH mark,” market analysts note, assessing the current situation as tense.
At the state-owned PrivatBank, the cash exchange rate for the dollar stood at 44.30 UAH, while purchasing with a card costs slightly less—44.24 UAH.
The situation with the euro at this institution is even more complicated: at teller windows, it is offered at 52.50 UAH, while non-cash transactions reached 52.63 UAH.
Oschadbank also followed the general trend, setting the dollar price in its mobile app at 44.25 UAH and at 44.35 UAH for card transactions.
