'We have worked closely with Federal Notary Chamber for a long time to digitalize products and services. This cooperation has resulted in certain things that change customer experience drastically. For example, in Moscow we launched a pilot project called Inheritance without Going to Bank, letting people receive their inheritance without going to the bank. Cashless payment is another important step to develop eNotary. We invite all notaries to join Pay with QR to make their services as convenient for clients as possible.'
