Dollar and euro drop at exchange offices and banks: latest rates as of September 1, 2026

The first day of autumn in 2026 marked a noticeable easing in Ukraine's cash currency market. According to RBC-Ukraine monitoring data, on September 1 the average dollar rate at exchange offices stood at 44.76 UAH for sale and 44.65 UAH for purchase, down 5 kopecks from the previous values. The euro also showed a decline: at exchange offices, the European currency is sold at 52.00 UAH (−10 kopecks) and bought at 51.80 UAH (−8 kopecks). Thus, both major currencies fell simultaneously, creating a relatively favorable window for cash holders to exchange.

Rates at major banks: spread across service channels

Banks have set differentiated rates depending on the method of conducting the transaction — through a branch teller or via card/mobile channels. PrivatBank sells dollars at branches at 44.70 UAH (−5 kopecks), while the card rate stands at 44.84 UAH, unchanged. Buying dollars at PrivatBank branches costs 44.10 UAH (−5 kopecks), and via cards — 44.25 UAH (−5 kopecks).

Contradictory data

Against the general trend of both currencies falling, one anomaly stands out: the euro purchase rate for cards at PrivatBank rose by 1 UAH to 52.08 UAH, while all other euro positions at this same bank and among competitors either fell or remained unchanged. Similarly, the euro sale rate for cards at PrivatBank (52.08 UAH) exceeds Oschadbank's card rate (52.20 UAH) only slightly, but the direction of movement is opposite to the market. Various sources (RBC-Ukraine, Delo, Korrespondent, Glavred) record a rate decline at the start of autumn, although the exact spread values between service channels may differ slightly depending on the time of day the data was captured.
