Ukrainian Hryvnia Brokers

The Ukrainian Hryvnia is the national currency of Ukraine and has been so since 1996. Before then, Ukraine used a currency called Karbovanets, which suffered from hyperinflation in the early 1990s due to the collapse of the USSR. This currency was set at a rate of 100,000 karbovantsiv = 1 hryvnia during the transition to the new Ukrainian Hryvnia. The Hryvnia is sometimes written as “hryvnya” or “grivna” due to its Russian language counterpart. The Ukrainian Hryvnia is not overly popular and widely used in the online trading community. Generally, if the trading broker is based in the Ukraine they will accept the Ukrainian Hryvnia as a viable currency, but brokerages outside of the country rarely accept this currency as it is not widely used outside of Ukraine.

The “$” Symbol and Ukrainian Hryvnia

The Ukrainian Hryvnia is represented by the symbol or sign, “₴”.

Exchanging Ukrainian Hryvnia

When the Ukrainian Hryvnia was first introduced, the rate of exchange was 1.76 UAH per 1 USD. However, since then the currency has devalued significantly and is now exchanged at a rate of 28 UAH per 1 USD. Since the exchange rate has devalued so much over the years and continues to fall, there are very few international online trading brokerages that accept the Ukrainian Hryvnia. Most trading brokers prefer to accept the Euro or will allow deposits of the Hryvnia, but only for it to be exchanged for Euros. Another way to exchange Hryvnia is to deposit the currency into an e-wallet with an exchange service built into it. Then you could use the e-wallet to transfer the exchanges funds to an online trading broker.
