Only 2% of Russians use Chinese UnionPay cards. In general, Russians did not notice the departure of Visa and Mastercard payment systems and Apple Pay and Google Pay payment services. In Russia, cards from the Chinese payment system UnionPay linked to the Huawei Pay service have stopped working. Users are faced with the impossibility of paying with devices in terminals of domestic stores. The restrictions may be a consequence of US sanctions against the Russian National Payment Card System (NSCP), which processes all UnionPay card transactions in Russia.
