NovaPay may soon become more than financial company – NOVA group co-owner

Financial company NovaPay, which is the second largest in the NOVA group after Nova Poshta, has enormous potential for high growth rates and further development, NOVA co-owner Viacheslav Klymov believes.

"A company from which we have huge expectations. I think it’s a company that will soon become more than a financial company," he said at NOVA Summit in Kyiv on Thursday.

Klymov specified that currently NovaPay has 1 million clients and a UAH 2 billion loan portfolio, provided 85 million transactions in its own app over the year and managed to process a record 2.95 million transactions in one day.

The day before, NovaPay Innovation Director Oleksiy Ruban at Pay.Forum 2026 in Kyiv said the company is considering obtaining a banking license to eliminate the restrictions that exist for a financial company.

NovaPay was founded in 2001 as an international financial service and provides financial services online and offline at Nova Poshta branches. According to the National Bank of Ukraine, the company accounts for about 35% of the total volume of domestic money transfers.

NovaPay was the first in Ukraine among non-banking financial institutions to receive an expanded NBU license in 2023, which allowed it to open accounts and issue cards, and also the first among non-banks to launch its own financial app with a wide range of financial services in late 2024.
