Numerous Russian consumers have been unable to use Apple Pay or Google Pay as a result of financial sanctions placed by numerous nations on Russia’s largest banks, including VTB Group, Sovcombank, Novikombank, Promsvyazbank, and Otkritie FC Bank. Visa and MasterCard ceased operations in Russia earlier this month, thereby prohibiting Russians from using their credit or debit cards outside the country or for international internet payments.
