About Banking in Russia
Russia's banking sector is overseen by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. The country has a large and diverse banking system serving its vast territory. Banks maintain standard business hours during weekdays and are closed on national holidays. Digital banking has become widespread, with most banks offering comprehensive online services. Russia's banking sector is dominated by state-controlled institutions, with Sberbank (the country's largest bank with over 100 million customers), VTB, Gazprombank, and Rosselkhozbank collectively controlling the majority of banking assets. The Central Bank of Russia (Bank of Russia) regulates all financial institutions and has implemented significant monetary policy changes since 2022 following unprecedented international sanctions imposed after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The sanctions imposed from February 2022 onwards have fundamentally altered Russia's banking landscape for international operations. Major Russian banks were disconnected from the SWIFT international messaging system, Visa and Mastercard suspended operations in Russia, and Russian banks lost access to correspondent banking relationships with Western institutions. This has made international transfers to and from Russia extremely complex, with transactions now primarily routed through alternative systems including Russia's own SPFS messaging system and Chinese UnionPay cards. Russian bank branches typically operate Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with many Sberbank and VTB branches offering Saturday hours from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM — making Russia relatively accessible for weekend banking. Russia observes 14 official public holidays including New Year holidays (January 1-8, an 8-day holiday cluster that is the longest in Europe), Orthodox Christmas (January 7), Defender of the Fatherland Day (February 23), International Women's Day (March 8), Victory Day (May 9), and Russia Day (June 12). Russia's Mir payment card system, developed after earlier sanctions threats, has become the domestic standard replacing Visa and Mastercard for most domestic transactions. Sberbank's SberPay and the Faster Payments System (FPS/SBP) enable instant transfers 24/7 between Russian bank accounts. For businesses or individuals needing to conduct financial transactions involving Russia, consulting current sanctions regulations and seeking specialist legal and financial advice is essential given the rapidly evolving and complex international regulatory environment.

*Limited Hours: Only some branches open on this day — often those in shopping centres — and their hours can differ from the bank's weekday hours. Check your own branch before travelling.
†Typical / Estimate: we have not confirmed hours for this particular bank from its own website. Typical rows show the usual banking hours for Russia; Estimate rows show hours reported for this bank that we have not yet confirmed. Treat both as a guide and check the bank directly. Rows without a marker are based on that bank's own published hours, one of its branch pages, or the banking regulator.
‡No public branches: this institution has no counter the public can visit — it is a wholesale, development or central institution, its retail business runs under a different brand, or it has been acquired. Its note says which.
Note: individual branches may vary even where a bank publishes standard hours. Always confirm with your specific branch before visiting.
Online Banks: Banks marked as "24/7 Online" operate primarily through digital channels with no physical branches or very limited branch access.
