Many foreign online stores block any payments from maps released in Russia, including UnionPay, transfers “Kommersant.”
It is reported that banks are not posted, but they did not hide that the impossibility of payment is a common phenomenon. However, the demand for UnionPay remains hitch: before the imposition of sanctions, the number of issued systems of the system in the Russian Federation was estimated at 50 thousand pieces, and now it’s already about 500 thousand pieces.
According to experts, the problem is in foreign online stores, which on the background of the war in Ukraine simply do not serve Russians, although the sanctions of this and do not provide.
In the framework of the sanctions entered by the West in response to Russian military operations in Ukraine, international payment systems Visa and Mastercard stopped working in Russia. Also in the country do not work Apple Pay and Google Pay.
