DLA Piper contributes in launching “SMART-MONEY” service by Kyivstar, the largest Ukrainian telecom operator by the number of users

23/ 07/ 2018
  DLA Piper Ukraine acted as a legal counsel by phasing-in of SMART-MONEY service - fast, convenient and secure way of online payments provided by Kyivstar. The DLA Piper Ukraine team advised on the incorporation of Starmoney being subsidiary of Kyivstar as a financial institution and on obtaining a license for money transfer. The team also advised on the regulatory regime for e-money payments, including financial monitoring and consumer protection issues, the code of conduct for an issuer, top-up, settlement, distribution agents and payment system operators. Finally, DLA Piper lawyers assisted the Kyivstar fintech team with drafting the network agreement between Starmoney, Kyivstar and partner-banks and on the issuance, redemption and settlement of e-money. This mandate is being led by Oleksandr Kurdydyk, a partner and Head of Finance, Project and Restructuring, along with Dmytro Pshenychniuk, senior associate, and associates Anastasiia Zhebel and Iiuriy Krasnoutskiy. The team led by Partner Galyna Zagorodniuk advised on competition law matters. Oleksandr Kurdydyk said: We were delighted to work on this strategic fintech project for the Ukrainian market. Kyivstar will outsource the e-money operation to Starmoney, an e-money institution. Once the remote central platform is phased in, any of 26 million mobile users may use the buy-on-the-fly option allowing them to convert prepaid value usually intended for phone calls into prepared e-money. Customers will easily be able to purchase services and goods or make peer-to-peer transactions.
