Former bank of Russian billionaire lost its license

The Bank of Russia revoked its license from Alba Alliance Bank, which had previously filed a corresponding petition in connection with the intention of voluntary liquidation. This is stated in a message on the regulator’s website.

The organization, according to the information provided, has sufficient property to pay off creditors. A liquidation commission will be appointed to the bank. It ranks 282 in the Russian banking system in terms of assets.

Until 2005, half of the bank’s shares were controlled by Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg and American and British entrepreneur Leonid Blavatnik. At the moment, the sole owner of the bank is businessman Dmitry Pyatkin.

Earlier on March 12, the Central Bank revoked the license of the Moscow bank ForBank, which ranked 221st in terms of assets. The reason for this decision is the violation of federal laws and regulations of the Central Bank, as well as ignoring the requirements for combating money laundering and terrorist financing.

A similar decision was made with regard to the Bank “Modern Business Standards”. However, in his case, it is only a violation of federal laws and regulations of the regulator.
