The Ministry of Finance stated that financial monitoring requirements for realtors and participants in real estate transactions are not new and have long been in effect in Ukraine. The agency announced this after information about the alleged introduction of new rules spread in the media and social networks, UNN writes.

The Ministry of Finance explained that realtors, like other financial monitoring entities, fall under the current norms of legislation. At the same time, not all operations are checked, but only those that show signs of risk.
Financial monitoring works on a risk-oriented approach – only operations with signs of risk are checked
Ministry of Finance denied total control over transactions
The agency also refuted the widespread assertion that realtors are allegedly obliged to report all transactions exceeding 400 thousand hryvnias.
Realtors report only suspicious transactions, not all of them
The ministry clarified that in 2026, only the technical interaction with the State Financial Monitoring Service actually changed – in particular, through the electronic cabinet – and a check is underway to see if all entities have registered accordingly.
The Ministry of Finance emphasized that for citizens, this does not mean any total control, and provided that transactions are legally formalized, there will be no additional barriers.
