The National Bank of Ukraine has appealed to the Chinese payment systems China UnionPay and UnionPay International to withdraw from the payment market of the Russian Federation.
This is stated on the website of the NBU.
The Head of the National Bank Kyrylo Shevchenko called on the administration of the payment systems "to make their contribution into the restoration of peace in Ukraine and to stop working in Russia."
We are talking about the termination of all transactions with China UnionPay and UnionPay International payment cards in Russia, as well as with cards issued by banks outside the aggressor country.
On March 6, the international payment systems Visa and Mastercard announced the termination of their activities in Russia.
Giants such as Microsoft, Apple, PayPal, American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Boeing, Deloitte, Adobe, IBM, Cisco, Intel, Oracle, Ford, Dell, Delta Air Lines, General Motors, McDonalds, Starbucks and many more have decided to completely stop further investments, close or exit the Russian market.
