This is reported by the newspaper "Kommersant".
According to the publication, foreign online stores could decide to stop serving Russians against the backdrop of the situation in Ukraine, instructing acquiring banks not to make payments on cards issued in Russia, regardless of the payment system.
At the same time, it is noted that the demand for cards of the UnionPay payment system "remains booming."
The fact that Russians can use a joint card of two MIR payment systems - UnionPay to pay for purchases and withdraw cash abroad, was previously recalled in the National Payment Card System.
As stated in the Central Bank, cards of international payment systems Visa and Mastercard of Russian banks will continue to work in Russia after both American companies announced the suspension of services in the country.
The regulator stressed that cross-border transactions with these cards will not be available.
