Central Bank (Central Bank) of Russia will begin to control all money transfers between individuals, requesting data on them from banks, including personal data. As RBC writes with reference to sources, it follows from a regulator of a new form to credit organizations to provide reporting.

They will be used to analyze the market as a whole in the country and in the regions, as well as for the formation of statistical indicators.

From the explanation of the regulator, it follows that banks should include in the reports information on the translations of Russians money from the card to the card, from the card to the account, with electronic wallets and the operator’s accounts, in the system of rapid payments, through payment terminals and monetary systems Translations, as well as on transboundary translations.

in the Central Bank also clarified that they will not be monitored by transferring funds for deposit accounts, accounts for repaying loans, brokerage or investment accounts, commissions of credit institutions for maintenance, as well as translations in favor of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs.

So, you need to prevent a decrease in their share.
