“I want to say that the bank started work - it started later than the rest, so there is a shift in the timing. But we are conducting a dialogue with the bank in order to ensure the fastest possible time for connecting to the quick payment system, ”RIA Novosti quoted Nabiullina as saying.
The quick payment system was launched in Russia in January 2019. With it, Russians can transfer money to each other by phone number, regardless of which bank the accounts of the sender and the recipient are open. All systemically important banks were required to connect to the system from October 1. Sberbank did not.
Earlier it was reported that 16 billion rubles were transferred through the quick payment system for six months.
