On September 9–10, the PLUS Forum ‘Payment Business and Money Circulation’ took place in Moscow. 

Our CEO, Tatyana Ravinskaya, shares her insights:
The event — which I jokingly call “a gathering of CIS fintech friends” — took place in Moscow this week. Here are my key notebook entries from the PLUS Forum 2025:
✔️ Synergy between Russia and Belarus at the level of projects, processes and legislation is gaining momentum.
✔️ Cross-border P2P payment networks, open APIs and integration of banks with crypto businesses are the drivers for the next five years.
✔️ Belarus has everything it needs to build a sustainable crypto industry and become a country where cryptocurrency is properly grounded. 

Points to watch:

• In December 2025, NSPK tariffs for cross-border P2P between Belarus and Russia will change — a logical alternative to reduce costs and offer the most competitive conditions.
• While Belarus is grounding crypto, Russia is focusing on open APIs. From 2026, these will become mandatory for major banks, brokers and insurance companies, with widespread adoption planned for 2027.

NOW is the perfect time for collaborations that keep pace with trends — not for preparing for a war that has already passed.
