A bank in Tajikistan has reportedly shut a payment channel used by Russian cardholders, creating new difficulties for cross-border transactions. The move reflects increasing pressure on financial institutions navigating sanctions, compliance requirements, and restrictions affecting Russian customers. Russian users may face problems making purchases, withdrawing funds, or accessing services linked to the channel. Tajik authorities and the bank have not fully explained the decision, but the change highlights how international financial controls continue to reshape regional commerce and banking further.
