All Tinkoff apps have disappeared from the App Store. Last week, the bank was under EU sanctions. In addition, the applications of the Uralsib, Zenit, Levoberezhny and Primorye banks also disappeared from the App Store. These banks became subject to US lockdown sanctions at the end of February.
The Tinkoff press service confirmed the removal of applications from the App Store. Customers were assured that already downloaded applications would work as usual: it would be possible to transfer money, top up the account and perform other operations.
For new customers, users of Apple devices, a Tinkoff representative will help you set up remote maintenance access in a meeting when the product is opened.
Users were also warned that downloading apps from unofficial sources could be dangerous.
- At the end of February, the EU published the tenth package of sanctions against Russia. 121 natural and legal persons have been added to the list.
- The sanctions included Alfa-Bank, Tinkoff Bank and Rosbank. The European Union explains the sanctions against them by the fact that the sector in which they operate provides “significant income” to the state of the Russian Federation, as well as by their role in the economy: all three banks are included in the list of banks systemically important.
- Tinkoff later said that they had prepared for such a scenario. The bank assured that clients will be able to use Tinkoff’s services “as usual, regardless of external circumstances.” The sanctions will not affect the service of the credit institution’s 26 million clients, he said in a statement.
