🧨 Russia 🇷🇺: Central Bank reveals QR and biometric payment statistics

This year, Russians are increasingly adopting QR and biometric payments over cards. Key insights:

▶️ From January to September, consumers and businesses made purchases worth 2.6 trillion rubles using QR codes, while 7.8 billion rubles were processed via biometric payments.

▶️ During the same period, payments via electronic money almost doubled compared to the previous year, becoming the favorite option for marketplaces.

▶️ Highlights on QR codes:

🍓 Since July, banks like Sber, Alfa, and T-Bank have been testing a universal QR system.
