It is clarified that these bans, which will be introduced by the new law from March 1, relate to the integration of Telegram with means of paying for donations and subscriptions, as well as banks.
VTB and PSB, which, due to the inability to publish applications in the App Store, are developing banking through Telegram, noted that all operations are carried out on their side.
At the same time, the law does not allow sending auxiliary banking messages, the material says.
“A number of organizations in Russia will be prohibited from using Telegram to “transfer payment documents and personal data when providing services,” the RKN said.
On January 19, it became known that VTB was launching an online bank in the Telegram messenger.
