Impactful Policy Frameworks
Digital Ruble Pilot Project (ongoing since 2023)
The Central Bank of Russia launched a pilot project for the digital ruble, a central bank digital currency, involving a limited group of banks and their clients for real transactions.
This policy could fundamentally change the payment landscape, potentially reducing transaction costs, increasing settlement speed, and requiring payment service providers like YooMoney to integrate with the new digital currency infrastructure.
Law on Digital Financial Assets (DFA) and Digital Currency (effective 2021)
This law (Federal Law No. 259-FZ) defines and regulates digital financial assets and digital currency in Russia, setting a legal framework for their issuance and circulation, but generally prohibiting their use as a means of payment within Russia.
While primarily focused on cryptocurrencies, this law clarifies the legal status of digital assets, influencing the regulatory environment for digital payment solutions and potentially setting precedents for future digital money regulations.
Federal Law No. 54-FZ on the use of cash registers (updated annually)
This law mandates the use of online cash registers for all cash and electronic payments, requiring businesses to send electronic receipts to customers and tax authorities in real-time.
This policy directly impacts YooMoney's business solutions by requiring automated receipt sending (which YooMoney provides) for its merchant clients, ensuring compliance and streamlining accounting for businesses.
