Impactful Policy Frameworks
Federal Law No. 115-FZ 'On Counteracting Legalization (Laundering) of Criminally Obtained Incomes and Financing of Terrorism' (latest amendments 2023)
This law imposes strict Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements on financial institutions, including digital payment providers, to prevent illicit financial activities.
This policy increases compliance burdens and operational costs for PayCon, requiring robust identity verification and transaction monitoring systems.
Digital Ruble Project (Ongoing Pilot 2023-2024)
The Central Bank of Russia is piloting a national digital currency (Digital Ruble) to create a new, modern form of money and payment infrastructure.
The Digital Ruble could introduce a new payment rail, potentially competing with or integrating into PayCon's services, requiring adaptation and new partnership opportunities.
Federal Law No. 161-FZ 'On the National Payment System' (latest amendments 2023)
This law regulates the operation of payment systems, e-money, and cross-border transfers within Russia, setting standards for participants and transactions.
PayCon must adhere to the specific operational and technical standards outlined in this law to legally operate and facilitate payment services in Russia.
