FAQ: Can customers keep doing payments to and from Russia?

Nordea complies with all applicable sanctions, laws and regulations. We want to ensure that our customers do the same. Due to the current sanctions regime and the restrictions in force, Nordea has stopped processing of payments to and from Russia and Belarus.
