anchored·XtCHnF…oXSySummary
OJSC Processing KG is a Bishkek-based payment company, wholly owned by Kyrgyzstan's Ministry of Finance, that operates the VexPay cross-border payment platform. The UK sanctioned the company and its director on 8 October 2026 for conducting business of economic significance to the Russian government, as part of a 38-entity package also targeting Cryptomus-linked and other crypto and payment firms. Separate reporting, based on leaked documents and disputed by at least one named individual, alleges VexPay was pitched to Kyrgyz officials by representatives of the US/UK-sanctioned A7 network as a SWIFT alternative, though the UK's own published designation does not cite A7 as its basis.
