3. Cash

In addition, Russia's transition to electronic payments can accelerate the initiative of the Ministry of Finance. In January 2017 the Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov proposed to introduce a tax on cash payment of large purchases. So far, the project was postponed because Russia still not technically ready for such a decision. However, if the law is adopted in the next few years, the transition to electronic payments will happen even faster.

4. Passwords and PINs
