That's not true. International payments with cards issued by non-sanctioned banks continue to work.
- brnt 5y agoAnd guess which banks are sanctioned?
- dunkelheit 5y agoSome of them are, some of them are not. What's your point? Your original statement is emphatically not true because cards issued by many of the biggest consumer banks (among them Sberbank, Alfabank) continue to work internationally. And internally all cards continue to work. So please don't spread rumors if you don't have access to accurate information.
- brnt 5y agoMy original comments wasn't just about cards. If Russia is anything like the rrest of Europe, most people will have set it up with direct debit anyway. The point is: the biggest reason for Netflix and co. is being unable to get paid through the channels people are using. The fact that you can if you're savvy was never the sort of hoops companies want to require their customers to jump through. Please don't speak on the accuracy of comments when clearly you have no idea yourself.
