Title: Are Russians facing payment problems?
Post by: BaldricksTrousers on March 23, 2014, 15:45

I wonder if Russian microstockers are facing problems getting paid now Visa and Mastercard are limiting their service to Russia over the Crimea crisis.

It would be interesting to know if this is hitting ordinary people with no responsibility over events.

as far as i've read the EU and NATO are only taking action against a few dozen russian oligarchs and politicians, not against russian citizens and russian banks.

There was some a block on some banks apparently http://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/russian-bank-customers-barred-visa-062807753.html (http://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/russian-bank-customers-barred-visa-062807753.html) but the latest stories say it's been lifted.
