Russian lender Sberbank has launched direct business settlements with Myanmar, according to TASS, which cited the bank's press service.
The bank's press service explained that Sberbank's Indian branch will serve as a key element of the new settlement arrangement, facilitating transactions between businesses in the two countries.
TASS did not provide further detail on the volume of transactions expected under the new arrangement or a timeline for when the settlements officially began. The move adds to Sberbank's existing international payment infrastructure.
Sberbank is Russia's largest bank and has sought alternative international payment channels amid Western sanctions imposed on major Russian financial institutions.
