Russians are trying to bypass Financial and trade sanctions of the West with the help of banks and businessmen from neighboring countries. For example, residents of the Russian Federation massively drive cars in Kazakhstan. In the same country, as well as in Uzbekistan, Russians open bank cards of international payment systems.
So, according to NUR, in some car dealers of Kazakhstan, the number of Russians after the start of the war in Ukraine increased 10 times. Mostly residents of neighboring regions of the Russian Federation are mostly driven by residents of Kazakhstan regions, cars are bought by autotosses. Such “entrepreneurs” are then going to resell cars already within Russia.
Russians and used to often bought cars in Kazakhstan to save. However, now demand has grown sharply due to the fact that the West has suspended the supply of cars to Russia, as well as the work of world car brands factories in the Russian Federation.
Also, Russians bypass the limitations of Visa and MasterCard payment systems, writes Forbes. Russian tour operators even offer tours for debit cards. Go to Uzbekistan for the map, and at the same time on a tour of Tashkent, offer 500 dollars.
Another option – open the map remotely. Such a “service” Russians offers, EasyPay service (which, by the way, works in Ukraine). The company helps the Russians to get Kazakhstan’s Iin, draws up a local SIM card, conducts a video interview with a representative of the Bank and opens a current account. After that, you can open a Visa or MasterCard virtual map.
Funds can be made on the card directly from Russia through the “Golden Crown” system. With its help you can make translations to Russian cards.
