Russian payment services Prodamus, Robokassa, PayBox and LifePay have stopped accepting foreign Visa and Mastercard cards, Izvestia reported.
After Visa and Mastercard left Russia, payment services could not accept these foreign cards in Russia. But loopholes were soon discovered: organizations negotiating with counterparty banks from neighboring countries and controlled transactions with foreign cards in Runet.
Since 2023, services have begun to organize real transactions, because banks from the CIS are afraid of secondary applications.
Robokassa has already suspended accepting payments with an external Visa card and stopped processing transactions from the United States. Now only payments are made from abroad using Mastercard cards from Europe and the CIS countries.
A week ago, a US dollar transaction in the Prodamus case was rejected by a partner bank.
