The National Payment Card System is working on expanding the functionality of the universal QR code
The new
functionality will allow payments using QR codes not only for purchases in
stores. This was discussed at the regular meeting of the Council of
Participants and Users of the Payment Market, chaired by the General Director
of the National Payment Card System (NSPK), Dmitry Dubynin. The meeting took
place at the National Centre RUSSIA.
The Council
is a platform for discussing possible directions for the development of the
payment market. More than 20 organizations participated in the meeting,
including representatives from banks, marketplaces, fiscal data operators, and
other companies.
One of the
topics discussed was the expansion of QR payment functionality. Dmitry Dubynin
noted that NSPK is currently working on the possibility of integrating the universal
QR code with other payment solutions based on QR codes.
"The
concept of combining the universal QR code with other fintech services is
actively being developed. We are collaborating with providers of such
solutions. The integration of technologies will standardize the payment process
via QR codes, for example, for utility payments or tips. This will make it more
convenient for citizens," said Dmitry Dubynin.
The meeting
also discussed the need for structural changes within the council, the
development of biometric payment services, and other issues.
