Decision trail

Decision date 18/10/2023 · Reference ↗

Initially made complete blocking of the payment system. But in October 2023, the American company Apple has published new rules for Russian app developers, allowing their users to use external payment methods for making purchases without Apple's involvement. Banks assess popularity of russian alternatives to Apple and Google Pay.
