Yesterday, the Bank of Russia introduced a new banknote with a face value of 100 rubles.
However, the Russians will not soon see these banknotes in the international trade of Kommersant. To do this, banks need to set up ATMs, terminals and cash equipment for new banknotes. This is not possible due to the emergence of sufficient Western ATM manufacturers NCR and Diebold Nixdorf.
More than 60% of ATMs are NCR and Diebold Nixdorf, and cash registers are 100% imported.
With the departure of the execution, any updates to the software of the validators in the modules of recycling / cash acceptance of ATMs, as well as cash registers, terminals, became impossible, which reflects the lack of the ability to add / change templates for banknotes of both new denominations and a new sample.

All banks are ready, that by the time the banknotes are launched, their equipment will be completely ready. Thus, Sberbank is confident that by the time new banknotes are put into circulation, a network of 70,000 ATMs will be ready to operate with them. The Russian Standard notes that last time the profit was about a month, but at present they cannot give an estimate in the current situation.
Unofficially, banks agree that today it is not worth relying on past experience, because banknotes of 200 and 2000 rubles were invested in 2017. Large credit institutions have not yet been under sanctions.
Now they agree that the introduction of the new 100-ruble bill was formal. [Коммерсантъ]
