Putin Signs Law Blocking Auto Debits After Users Revoke or Delete Payment Details

Providers must retool systems by March 1, 2026 to honor revocations of saved payment details.

Overview

  • The measure covers subscription contracts executed online through websites, information systems or software applications.
  • Operators must accept a customer’s refusal to use stored bank or electronic payment details, including submissions made electronically.
  • Deleting or unlinking a bank card or e‑wallet from an account bars any further recurring charges to those details.
  • The law takes effect on March 1, 2026, giving platforms time to update user agreements, interfaces and payment integrations.
  • Rospotrebnadzor may pursue administrative cases for violations, and lawmakers say both international and Russian services will need to comply.
