Title: Survey of Payment Systems in H1 2023 
Title: Обзор платежных систем в первой половине 2023 г.
Abstract: In 2023, the Russian market of payment systems keeps evolving at a rapid pace. Improvements in technology and updates of the regulatory framework result in major market changes. The confrontation between traditional banks and new fintech actors, as well as increasing competition between payment systems, are generating new technologies and services that are changing the way users interact with financial instruments. Users abandon traditional banking services more often in favor of mobile applications and other modern transfers, taking advantage of new opportunities and comfort provided by startups and large companies. In these conditions, the regulator has to take into account the evolution of the market and propose new rules and standards for safe and stable operation of payment systems.
