Now all operations with bank cards of international payment systems within the country will be processed through the clearinghouse of NPCS.

“Working in NPS allows securing and providing uninterrupted service on fund transfers, as well as increasing the security of bank card transactions,” Evgeny Zhuravlev, deputy chairman of Bank Kuznetsky, informed PenzaNews agency.

He noted that the connection to the system takes place following the federal law “On the National Payment Card System,” according to which all banks that work in international payment systems have to collaborate with the NPCS operational and payment clearing center.
