It has dramatically changed over recent years, with new participants continuously entering the market, and innovative payment technologies and instruments being created. They are user-friendly, accessible, and are significantly expanding the payment and money transfer options. One of the goals of the Bank of Russia is to secure the stability and development of the National Payment System (NPS). Therefore, the Bank of Russia must ensure that positive changes happening in the payment industry do not entail elevated risks to the stability of the NPS at large, NPS entities and NPS users. The Bank of Russia’s efforts to oversee the NPS represent one of the tools aimed at achieving this objective. As part of its oversight of the NPS, the Bank of Russia analyses the operations of NPS entities and constantly communicates with them, studies global trends, implements international payment sector standards, and encourages the market participants to comply with them. This helps advance the quality of payment services rendered by NPS entities, strengthening consumers’ confidence in them. In order to make its activities more transparent, the Bank of Russia is releasing this overview of NPS oversight results, including the findings based on overseeing the important payment systems in 2018–2020. The first part of this overview highlights the main trends and topical issues of the NPS development and regulation, NPS entities’ performance in payment services provision and international cooperation issues related to NPS oversight, and outlines the regulatory easing for payment market participants effective for the duration of the pandemic-related restrictions. The second part contains the results of the assessment of the important payment systems’ compliance with the international standard ‘Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures’.

The key aspects of the NPS oversight include monitoring (collection, systematisation and analysis of data), assessment of the activities of overseen organisations as well as their related overseen entities, and preparation of recommendations for improving their activities. Within the monitoring of general NPS development trends, the Bank of Russia analyses the types of NPS entities, payment services and infrastructure, information and communication technologies applied in the provision of payment services and payment infrastructure services, as well as cross- border money transfers, and identifies innovative approaches and new participants in the payment service market. The Bank of Russia also analyses the continuity of payment services and the smooth functioning of payment systems, regulatory framework, law enforcement, and judicial practice with regard to the NPS. In its NPS oversight efforts, the Bank of Russia actively communicates and cooperates with foreign regulators and international organisations, identifying best foreign practices in rendering payment services and payment infrastructure services, as well as factors hindering the implementation of such practices in the Russian payment service market. This report is the fourth issue and describes the results of the Bank of Russia’s NPS oversight for the period from July 2018
