MOSCOW : Sanctioned Russian digital lender Tinkoff Bank said on Thursday its mobile applications had been deleted from Apple's App Store, following the imposition of European Union sanctions last week.
Tinkoff was forced to suspend trading in euros following the sanctions on Monday, and has now had its app removed from the App Store, it said. "Already installed apps will work as usual, you can still transfer money, top up your account and perform other operations," it said. Other major Russian lenders who were previously sanctioned by the EU or United States also saw their apps deleted from the Apple and Google platforms shortly after sanctions were introduced.
