Damage to Yandex data centers caused disruptions to services, including Yandex Pay.
Damage to Yandex data centers led to disruptions in Yandex Pay. At the same time, the unavailability of applications does not mean the loss of money - the bank’s obligations remain, explained lawyer, head of the Center for Law and Order in Moscow and the Moscow Region, Alexander Khaminsky. What will happen to clients’ money after a failure in Yandex services, he explained in a dialogue with Lenta.ru
“Unavailability of applications and services does not mean loss of money. If the funds are placed on a bank deposit or account, the bank's obligation to the client remains regardless of technical problems. According to Article 834 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the bank is obliged to return the deposit and pay interest under the terms of the agreement. Damage to servers does not in itself terminate this obligation,” the lawyer explained.
According to him, additional protection is provided by the law on deposit insurance: Yandex Bank participates in the system. In the event of an insured event, for example, revocation of a license, the depositor is entitled to compensation of up to 1.4 million rubles per depositor in one bank, including interest.
If the restoration of the service takes longer, clients should save contracts, statements and confirmations of transactions, contact the bank through available channels, and if rights are violated, send a complaint to the Bank of Russia, Khaminsky advised. If there are proven losses, recovery of them through the court can be considered.
“The situation clearly shows the risk of storing all savings in one bank - even without loss of funds, a technical failure can temporarily deny access to them,” the lawyer concluded.
