I stress a rumor only but it is an option on table. If true it means international wires will stop coming into russia and businesses will all grind to halt. No money.

From Link..

"There were threats that we can be disconnected from SWIFT. We have finished working on our own payment system, and if something happens, all operations in SWIFT format will work inside the country. We have created an alternative," Nabiullina said at a meeting with President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday.

She also added that 90 percent of ATMs in Russia are ready to accept the Mir payment system, a domestic version of Visa and MasterCard.

Izvestia daily reported that as of January 2016, 330 Russian banks had been connected to the SWIFT alternative, the system for transfer of financial messages (SPFS).

In 2014 and 2015, when the crisis in relations between Russia and the West were at their peak over Crimea and eastern Ukraine, some Western politicians urged disconnecting Russia from SWIFT.

In November 2015, Nabiullina said the SPFS was close to being completed."

50% Rule, more at link above.

Russia's Mir has gone European, so SWIFT being down won't hurt them one, teeny, tiny bit!

Why exactly would they not kill swift? No transactions without american approval? Seems like a very wise decision. You know they have thier own version of swift right? BRICS operate without swift

Re: Breaking Rumor: Swift turned Off in Russia
Same was done to Iran, though I think they are now back on.

The net result is that it prevented their banks from carrying out
international transfers, settlements, etc..

And it hurt.

I doubt this action was taken with Russia.

It is serious.

No it would rather mean world will send back all worthless US Treasury bills to stop your criminally insane unreliable nation from going ape shit on them in the future..

They did that to Iran and many nations took notice.. EU would have liked to continue good relations and business going back then.. that's why they brokered around until they got a deal with US on board because this is nothing else but arbitraily applied FINANCIAL TERRORISM nothing short of fascism actually.. do you think countries reeally respct US.. or do they only give lip service and do the least they can possibly do without being attacked.. oh wait they get attacked now, aren't they... hmm.. whats next? Gonna drop the Bitch of all bombs on Germany next?

No no... this will not end well for the US..

Re: Breaking Rumor: Swift turned Off in Russia
not hard to imagine

the EU threatened major sanctions in 2014 when russia invaded ukraine

removing them from swift was part of the threat, and russia began preparation for their own monitary transfer system to replace swift

this could be real doom boner material

Re: Breaking Rumor: Swift turned Off in Russia
Here´s my interpretation:
They prepare for the collapse of the Western banking system!
Everything else is just pretextual.
There is also an SWIFT- alternative of the BRICS, I think they call it CIPS.

I know it's just a rumor, but that's a hell of a rumor, and has the potential to cause major moves in a very short period of time, so I'm gonna pin it to see if anyone can get any harder evidence.

Those major sanctions are some travel bans, dude.. BUSINESS betwen Germany and Russia was up like 40% last few month.. matter of fact.. EU countries want to get rid of the farcial sanctions because Russia's sanctions are ECONOMICAL in nature and hurts them much much more than a few official banned from entering the EU for "holidays & shopping".. duh!

Re: Breaking Rumor: Swift turned Off in Russia
In the last few days, the Russians have been making bellicose threats about what might happen if they are excluded from SWIFT. On Friday, the CEO of Russia’s second largest bank said,

If there is no Swift, there is no banking . . . relationship, it means that the countries are on the verge of war, or they are definitely in a cold war. … The next day, the Russian and American ambassadors would have to leave the capitals.

Re: Breaking Rumor: Swift turned Off in Russia
Man they are just making Russia stronger and better. They are making them more self-reliant and not dependent on other nations. This will have a short term effect no doubt, but overall the longer term effects of this isolationism will be phenomenal for Russia, especially when the world economy takes a crap.

Its not the same. Russia was asked to help. We were not invited and just inserted ourselves. Would Obama have allowed another uninvited country to come into our country and fight us? HELL NO!
Somehow the US seems to invite itself into a lot of countries to fight the leaders (Insert freedom and democracy) etc. If they did that to us it would not be acceptable. Yet we do it all the time. Not just Syria.
