The Bank of Russia issued a fresh order, according to which for the recognition of the payment system of the national securities she would need to apply exclusively map of Russian production.
For execution of this condition Visa and MasterCard have to renounce the usual technologies and reissued in Russia more than 175 million cards.
The plan normative act, which establishes a claim to information technology payment systems for recognition of their national important focuses in the government. The need for its development have appeared in connection with a change of the law on state payment system (PS), which authorizes the Bank of Russia to establish the proportion of use of software, the domestic production, also claims to the cards and chips. In the Department of public relations of the Central Bank said that after the agreement with the government, the plan document will be located on the web site of the economic Department informs "Kommersant".
"The main idea of the document establishes that the cards must be produced in the Russian Federation", - speaks a source of the edition, familiarised with the project. Informer newspaper, familiar with the course of the study document, acknowledges that domestic must be all the components of the card, including the payment application to chip. Therefore, the act of the Central Bank effectively makes it incredible to the international payment systems (IPS) the status of national tangible. To gain this status, Visa and MasterCard were previously prepared over one and a half years to build personal processing centers in Russia, change of shareholders on Russian. However, the draft normative act, the Central Bank will require more fundamental reforms to which they, according to credible data on printed publications is not ready.
"Physically, the transition to the introduction of chips of the Russian production with local payment application probable",- said the interlocutor of the edition of one of payment systems. In the case when even they will meet the standards of the EMV (EuroPay, MasterCard, Visa), to ensure the operation of these cards abroad will probably only if you keep the condition that on the chip at the same time will be set payment application IPU, as the document says nothing, he adds.
"In such conditions it will be easier to stay on the processing of Russian systems and to receive less wages and does not receive the status of a national znachimyh than to switch to Russian technologies, incurring significant costs, and build a processing center in Russia", - he added. From official comments in Visa and MasterCard flatly refused.
The seductiveness of the status of national meant payment system for large international players reduces, and the precedent that the candidates will have to replace the entire volume of already working cards. "The status of national tangible system can be obtained only if all its existing cards will fit new aspects", - told the informant printed editions. Neither Visa nor MasterCard size emissions in the Russian Federation do not reveal. According to the data of the Central Bank on April 1, in Russia issued 219,2 million cards are Visa and MasterCard accounts for about 80%, which means that they will have to replace more than 175 million cards.
However, the same problem, and apparently will rise and in front of the Russian payment systems - the UEC and "Golden crown". Although the UEC applies chips domestic production, payment application developed by MasterCard on it. "Zolotaya Korona", by contrast, uses a personal payment application, but most of its cards equipped with imported chips. "Payment system establishes requirements used by the Bank to the chip, and the Bank picks up a manufacturing company to purchase cards. Banks have historically prefer to buy foreign chips", - said the Chairman of the Council of heads of "Golden crown" Nikolay Smirnov. In the UEC from explanations denied. According to credible data, publications, their payment application it has, however while it is not in operation.
