Russia has alternatives to SWIFT: Central Bank

Russian banks can use the financial messaging system of the Bank of Russia (FMS) to transfer information within the federation, and they are able to use other channels for international transferring in isolation from the SWIFT system, the Bank of Russia said Wednesday as sanctions mount against Moscow.

The European Union had announced that it made the decision to disconnect a wide array of Russian banks from SWIFT, seven, to be exact.

The banks, VTB BANK, Bank Otkritie, Novikombank, Promsvyazbank, Bank Rossiya, Sovcombank, and Vnesheconomban, would not be able to transmit financial information to counterparties on domestic transactions and international transactions.

The West disconnecting the Russian banks from the SWIFT system is part of its pressure on Moscow in light of the Russian special operation in Ukraine over NATO's eastward expansion.
