Question about tips for Russians during war time

[Life_Happens]

Sorry to be controversial, but I think this i pertinent .
If I tip an Russian model, with Russian credentials, and a Russian bank account...is she going to receive those funds?
Does Stripchat have a policy on handling this during this time?

I understand you may be under sanctions. Just want to get a solid answer.

Your question shouldn't be about tipping. Your question should be, will Russian models be able the cash out to a Russian bank? Will Russian passports become invalid proof of ID.?

Thanks, but my question was my question. Don't need you to try an make it anything else.
You can start a new thread with your concerns if you want.

A very pertinent question.

If SC is in a country that has applied financial sanctions on Russian financial institutions than it may be a bit sticky?

@xChloe - does StripChat have any comment about this yet?

I'm not sure I understood the question correctly, but I'll try to answer anyway.

Yes, all models from the Russian Federation will receive their earnings in total.

Further withdrawal will depend on the specific payment method chosen by the model.

I think, @xChloe , what some of us are wondering is that given the fact of many governments around the world isolating Russia by banning financial dealings, cutting Russia off from the the rest of the world, if the country where SC is based places bans on financial transactions with Russian financial institutions, how will that affect Russian based models' access to their hard-earned token balances?

Or is this more appropriately a question for Stripchat's payment partners?

Then I would just wonder why Russian models would even bother broadcasting now, unless they have a big Russian audience

Yes, indeed.

But also have to note that all site models can still receive payments in cryptocurrency.

Russian users tipping Russian models on StripChat would still have to pay the site for tokens. While SC can apparently still transfer money to Russian models and take payments from Russian users (I think), it all comes down to the payment processors, the banks and politics what will happen the coming days. If whatever jurisdiction the banks and payment processors are in decides to cut off trade and financial transfers with Russia, I don't think any of them wants to be caught carrying contraband.

I.e. if you absolutely must send money to a Russian person right now, you will have fewer and fewer options for every day that passes.
