The card2card system - only works in and out of the Russian Federation?

Question

Fintech

I understand that although using card2card you can send money to foreign cards, but this is a purely Russian system, right? That is, this is not some kind of globally recognized standard or service that is supported by many modern banks in the world?

Moreover, I have not seen the service of sending money to visa, master card only by card number in foreign Internet banking.

On the Internet for "card2card" I found links only to Runet.

Answer 1

it is a niche/local service.

Answer 2

The thing is that card2card does not exist. The card is attached to some account and the bank simply determines from which account to transfer money to the target card.
