The
first card of national payment system can appear in the middle of 2015
The first national payment card which is let out within the National
System of Payment Cards (NSPC) can be let out in the middle of 2015 and will be
able to work in a kobrending with four payment systems – the Chinese UnionPay,
Japanese JCB and the international VISA and MasterCard. The vice-chairman
of Bank of Russia Tatyana Chugunova reported to journalists about it.
"We hope that at the beginning of the next year there will be an
infrastructure of all this payment system which will be able while to assume
processing of intra country transactions on the international payment systems. In the second half of year there will be
already payment system and already cards new, and it will function as full-scale. Here
such plans at us", – were told by Chugunova.
According to her, the important role was played with that NSPK will be
under construction not "from scratch", and on the basis of technical
infrastructure of one of the operating payment systems.
Major candidates are PRO100 and "Gold Crown" systems.
The deputy chairman emphasized that from the moment of release the new
card will be able to work to a kobrending with other payment systems that will
allow to pay off at once with this card abroad. Thus internal transactions will
be processed only NSPK.
"I think that when release will begin, we will try by this moment
that it already was
co-branded. It can be with all four – both with Chinese, and with Japanese, and
with two international", – Chugunova told.
Earlier during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum the
Russian authorities and
the international payment systems managed to reach a compromise on further work
of Visa and MasterCard in Russia at simultaneous creation of the Russian
national payment system. According to the reached decision, requirements for
the size of security contributions which payment systems have to bring in the
Central Bank as a guarantee of their continuous work, it is decided to transfer
from the law to the bylaw. Then it was supposed that their size will be annually
established by either the
government, or Bank of Russia.
