Ukraine Banks Directory API — official NBU bank register: MFO, EDRPOU and status as JSON

Ukraine Banks Directory API returns the National Bank of Ukraine bank register as clean JSON: MFO, EDRPOU, legal and short names, status, opening and closing dates, address and phone. Look up a bank by MFO or EDRPOU or monitor the register for status changes and liquidations.

What it does

• Search the register by name, status or region.
• Lookup banks by MFO or EDRPOU for payment validation and KYB.
• Monitor new banks, status changes, closures and removals - alerts only, charged per change.
• Official source only (bank.gov.ua), no scraping.

Who it's for

• Payment, billing and ERP developers needing MFO to bank mapping
• KYB and compliance teams watching bank status
• Fintech and treasury tools
• Accountants verifying counterparties' banks

change-event	Bank change alert	$0.02	$20

Apify platform usage (compute, storage) is included in the event prices. Set Maximum cost per run in the run options to cap spending; the Actor stops cleanly when the limit is reached. Apify subscribers on Bronze, Silver and Gold plans get automatic discounts on the event prices.

FAQ

Is it legal to use this data? The Actor only reads official open data from the National Bank of Ukraine (bank.gov.ua). NBU open data is public. Every row carries source and sourceUrl so you can attribute it. No captcha, login or personal data of private individuals is bypassed or collected.

How fresh is the data? Each row has dataAsOf - the publication date of the source file or API. If the publisher stops updating, dataAsOf stops moving and the daily self-test run fails, so you can tell stale data from a broken Actor.

What happens when nothing is found or the source is down? You get a not_found or source_error row and you are not charged. The Actor never fails silently with an empty dataset.

How do I get alerts? Create a Task with mode: monitor, schedule it (hourly or daily) and add a webhook, or connect the Apify integration in n8n, Make or Zapier. Only new, changed and removed records are returned and charged.

Does the list include branches? The Actor returns head banks (one row per MFO of the bank). Use the IBAN validator to map any branch MFO inside an IBAN to its bank name.
