The head of the Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina reassured citizens by announcing on the air of the Russia-1 TV channel that there was no intention to collect data from both individuals and small businesses.
“We are now working with some banks, which identify the risk of using their platforms for payments to illegal online casinos, financial pyramids, so that banks can effectively build work here,” she explained.
Earlier, RBC reported that the Bank of Russia is going to request from banks all data on money transfers between individuals next year in order to fight illegal online casinos, crypto exchangers and businesses that accept payments on personal cards. This hypothetical intention was presented as a measure of control over the “gray” business, in which thousands of citizens of the Russian Federation are involved.
In fact, as explained by the Bank of Russia, we are talking about obvious abuses – about huge amounts “transferred to the same recipients in a matter of hours”, which are recognized as an attempt to carry out illegal transactions.
