The Central Bank proposes to limit cash deposits through ATMs. The regulator plans to introduce a limit on cash deposits from cards and applications, as well as establish a cooling period for issuing large loans in the amount of 1 million rubles or more, TASS writes.
The head of the Bank of Russia, Elvira Nabiullina, spoke about the regulator’s plans to combat cyber fraud at the “Cybersecurity in Finance” forum in Yekaterinburg.
She noted that a limit on cash deposits is needed, and “it is also necessary to extend the standard for the cooling period to large loans.” “Because with transfers we give banks the opportunity not to immediately withdraw money from suspicious accounts, but for large loans we do not give this opportunity. It must be implemented,” added the head of the Central Bank. According to her, “a loan in a few minutes” is convenient, but many people incur high costs due to scammers. Nabiullina proposed introducing a limit on large loans in the amount of 1 million rubles.
Naibiullina also suggested that Russian banks discuss the mandatory information exchange as part of cybersecurity work.
Previously, the Central Bank reported that in 2023, banks repelled 34.8 million attempts to steal customer money. At the same time, fraudsters managed to steal 15.8 billion rubles from clients of Russian banks.
