“I think they will return in the near future and offer their services. Because they have lost a great market and they will strive to enter this market, but, of course, it will be more difficult, because we are accustomed to new systems. The National Payment Cards System showed manufacturing and efficiency capacity, ”said the deputy.

He pointed out that Visa and Mastercard will have to be used for money transfers to Europe and the United States, since these are international payment systems. “At the same time, entering the Russian market, these systems will take place not only because we are already used to trusting our payment system,” Aksakov emphasized.

RB.RU sent requests to the Visa and Mastercard press service, representatives of the Russian Bank and the National Pags Card System (NSPK, the Russian Payment System operator “MIR”).

Visa and Mastercard have not been working in Russia since March 2022 due to the beginning of a military operation in Ukraine. The maps of these payment systems, issued by Russian banks, continued to work within the country, but stopped working beyond their borders and in foreign online stores.

On February 12, Vladimir Putin and the president of the United States, Donald Trump, spoke on the phone. According to the results of the dialogue, both parties, according to Trump, agreed to begin negotiations to complete the conflict in Ukraine. Bloomberg sources reported that Putin was collecting a “heavyweight team” to conclude an agreement with the United States, among which can be an assistant to Russia’s president about Yuri Ushakov foreign policy and the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service Sergei Naryshkin.
