Russia’s A7 Payment System Highlights the Push to Build Alternative Cross-Border Finance
PSB Bank Chairman Petr Fradkov has described how the A7 international payment system is being used in a sector that remains among the most tightly controlled in the economy: cross-border payments. His remarks to RBC underscore a broader effort to create alternative financial infrastructure as traditional international channels remain constrained. The development is significant for trade-sensitive industries, including automotive, EVs and mobility, where payment reliability can shape supply chains and market access.
