Sber called a rumor that the previously installed Sberbank Online mobile applications will stop working as of April 11 as fake

On April 9, Sber called fake rumors now spreading on the network that from April 11, previously installed Sberbank Online mobile applications will stop working on iOS and Android.

In connection with the latest sanctions, rumors began to spread in social networks that SberBank Online would stop working from April 11.

This message is not true.

If the application has already been downloaded and used by a person on a personal device, there is no reason to block it.

All installed applications of SberBank Online work and will continue to work, there are no restrictions on their use.

If there are restrictions in foreign app stores, we will offer our customers alternative options for app distribution.

- said in "Sber".

Earlier, Sber developers said that they had already adapted the web version of SberBank Online for use on mobile devices, and were also working on alternative ways to provide updates and install new mobile applications for users. Sber also advised all customers to update already installed mobile applications to the latest version.

Sber already has a section of the website where tips for updating its app are published, but there is no link to download the local version for Android yet.

Also, there is no link to an alternative version of downloading a mobile application in the section of the Sberbank website, which now lists three options for choosing an application for a user device - for Android, iOS, and the AppGallery app store from Huawei.

On April 6, 2022, the media reported that the US Treasury had imposed full blocking sanctions against the Russian bank Sberbank and Alfa-Bank, the country's largest private bank. The sanctions include the freezing of bank assets and the imposition of a ban on US citizens and companies from doing business with them. Restrictive sanctions involve a complete blocking of the assets and transactions of Sberbank and Alfa-Bank.

After that, Sberbank and Alfa-Bank stated that they continue to work as usual, including their applications and Internet banking.

Experts believe that the Sberbank and Alfa-Bank applications will soon be removed from the App Store and Google Play due to the imposition of sanctions against these organizations, as was done with the VTB Online application.

On April 7, 2022 Sber reported that the Sberbank Online mobile applications installed at users will continue to work on iOS and Android and further after sanctions against the organization are imposed. The company prepared in advance for possible limitations in the operation of mobile applications and created a solution that will allow maintaining the full functionality of mobile applications already installed on users' smartphones.
