Hard to pick up one thing among multiple.

For example, transfers between accounts are instantaneous, not 2-5 days for ACH (Wire transfers are same-day, but expensive).

Electronic menus/payments in cafes are default for at least 3 years now (US has toasttab.com but it's far from being default).

If you have a small business account, taxes are paid in one click (app shows you tax to be paid with Confirm button).

PS: These features are available in many other countries besides Ukraine, of course. Only in government id/functions Ukraine excels (#2 in the world, after Estonia only).
