Visa and Mastercard have stopped serving several Russian class="mandelbrot_refrag">banks because of U.S. sanctions and class="mandelbrot_refrag">Russia has obliged them to pay a security deposit of 25 percent of their average daily turnover in Russia to the central bank once a quarter from July 1 - a move that the U.S. firms said would create significant complications for their class="mandelbrot_refrag">business in Russia.
