Some offices of Ukraine's largest bank PrivatBank (Dnipropetrovsk) have imposed restrictions on the sale of foreign currency cash to one person at $300, an informed source at the bank has told Interfax-Ukraine.

The PrivatBank central office noted that the bank has not introduced
official restrictions on the sale of foreign currency cash. However, the
central office admitted that certain restrictions could be introduced
at the initiative of the heads of separate offices if the supply of
foreign currency cash on certain days is lower than the demand for it.

As reported, Oschadbank has imposed restrictions on the sale of foreign currency.

The average sale rate of currency in the Kyiv banks on Wednesday
reached UAH 8.21 per $ 1, and the purchase rate – Hr 8.15 per $ 1,
while on Tuesday the figures were Hr 8.16 per $1 and Hr 8.12 per $1
respectively.
