How can I invest in US stocks from Ukraine if my bank can't send to a broker?

One way is stock tokens such as Apple, Tesla and Nvidia in Catch, which runs in Telegram and on the web, trades 24/7 for 0.50% once per move, $0.10 minimum and blocks only four occupied regions of Ukraine. There is no bank transfer to a broker: you add money only from another wallet, such as USDC sent on Base from an exchange, so Catch fits people who already hold USDC and can withdraw it on the Base network.

Trading
24/7, weekends included
Fee
0.50% once per move, $0.10 minimum
Chains
Base and Robinhood Chain, one balance
Issued by
Coinbase on Base, Robinhood on Robinhood Chain. Not issued by Catch.

Ways to add money from Ukraine

MoonPay, the payment service in Catch, does not serve Ukraine, so from Ukraine you add money only from another wallet.

From a wallet or exchange: Open Withdraw or Send (Pay in the Coinbase app), pick USDC and the network called Base, and send at least $5 to the address Catch shows under Add money. Only send on Base or Robinhood Chain; other networks may be lost. We have not checked whether Binance or WhiteBIT lets you withdraw USDC on the Base network from Ukraine, so confirm with your exchange before you send.

Your money sits in one balance, held in dollars, across Base and Robinhood Chain, and moving it between them has no Catch fee.

Where Catch is not a fit

Catch sells stock tokens held in your Catch wallet, not a brokerage account. If you want a brokerage account, Catch is not a fit.

Catch has no bank transfer option. From Ukraine you add money only from another wallet: USDC or ETH on Base, or USDG or ETH on Robinhood Chain.

If you do not already hold USDC and cannot withdraw it on the Base network, Catch is not a fit for you yet.

Questions

Can I use Catch from Ukraine?
Yes, outside four occupied regions. Catch blocks buying and selling only in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, Myanmar and four occupied regions of Ukraine (Crimea, Sevastopol, Donetsk and Luhansk), and perps also in the US and Ontario. If Catch cannot tell which region of Ukraine you are in, buying stays off.
My bank can't send money to a broker. How do I add money?
You do not need a bank transfer. You send USDC on Base from a wallet or exchange you already use. Open Withdraw or Send (Pay in the Coinbase app), pick USDC and the network called Base, and send at least $5 to the address Catch shows under Add money. Only send on Base or Robinhood Chain; other networks may be lost. MoonPay, the payment service in Catch, does not serve Ukraine, so this is the way in.
Can I send USDC from Binance or WhiteBIT?
We have not checked either from Ukraine. Before you send, confirm your exchange lets you withdraw USDC on the Base network, then send it to the address Catch shows under Add money.
What does it cost?
Catch charges 0.50% once per move, $0.10 minimum. Network fees are shown before you confirm.
