The Bank of Russia has made an entry regarding the national importance of the payment system of National Settlement Depository (NSD), Russia’s central securities depository, in the Payment Systems Operators Register. The change is in accordance with amended Federal Law #161-FZ “On the National Payment System”. Previously NSD held the status of the systemically important payment system.

According to the amended Federal Law “On the National Payment System”, a payment system offering money transfers on transactions made in the organized market is a nationally significant payment system.

Since the Law's amendment, the NSD payment system allowing the transfer of money on transactions concluded in the organized market, including transactions conducted by Moscow Exchange OJSC, is the nationally significant system.
