A7 is planning a global expansion of its cross-border payment services despite being under United States and European Union sanctions. The company, established in 2024 by the defense-focused bank PSB, has already become the leader in the Russian international settlement market. This expansion is critical as it provides a sanctioned pathway for Russian businesses to move funds to major trading partners like China.
