Ukraine Ban Russian Remittance Services: Over the years, Ukraine has been among the top remittance corridors for Russia and major outbound contributors for Russia international remittance market. In 2016, Ukraine government banned banking and money transfer services from Russia due to war between Kremlin’s and Ukraine. This has increased the flow of remittance from Russia to Ukraine through non-official channels, as almost 3.2 million Ukrainians moved to Russia during 2002-2017. Earlier half of remittance from Russia to Ukraine was transferred through Blizko, Anelik, Zolotaya Korona, Leader, Unistream, Colibri, and Contact which are now declared illegal in Ukraine. Ban will affect the international remittance market of Russia and Ukraine in forecasted period.
Growing Banked Population: In 2018, almost 67% of population has a personal bank account which has increased the use of banking services for both remittance and bill payments. Hence, increasing penetration of banking services in rural parts of the countries is helping Russians to shift from traditional remittance channel such as post office and MTOs towards banking channels which are more secure and provide services at low commission charges. It expected that banking population will increase further in the country in near future with increasing penetration of banks.
Partnerships between Remittance Channels: The growing partnerships between major banks and money transfer operators is strengthening the remittance market in the country and is expected to provide convenience and options for remittance to customers. But with strict migrations policies and limitations on transfer amounts will provide hinders to the growth of remittance market in the future.

Analysts at Ken Research in their latest publication “Russia Remittance and Bill Payments Market Outlook to 2023 (Second Edition) – By Domestic Remittance Banking & Non Banking Channels; International Remittance Flow Corridors and Channel; and Bill Payment Segment” believe that pawnshops in Russia can play a major part in expansion plans for money transfer operators.
