Russian Railways warns Russian Railways reported that Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay services may not be available when buying electronic tickets in the Russian Railways Passengers app. Discuss
Sanctions have recently been introduced against some Russian banks. Because of this, their cards stopped working with Apple Pay and Google Pay. VTB recommended connecting to a similar Mir Pay system. Users also said that they could not enter the metro using Apple Pay and Google Pay, since VTB probably served the terminals at the stations. Russians also complained about the inability to pay for subscriptions to Netflix and Spotify.
