Banks began to apply the recommendations of the Central Bank to strengthen control over the operations of individuals, reported Izvestia with reference to the Central Bank and a number of credit institutions.
The Central Bank explained that the recommendations are directed against payments by participants in the shadow gambling business, crypto exchangers, illegal forex dealers and organizers of financial pyramids.
The implementation of the recommendations does not mean that “total control” will be exercised over the operations of individuals, the regulator noted. With the help of these recommendations, it will be possible to identify “separate risk areas”, but this will not affect small and micro businesses, the Central Bank said.
The Central Bank will begin to control all money transfers between citizens
The fact that the Central Bank will begin to control all money transfers between citizens was reported in December by RBC sources. The Bank of Russia sent to credit institutions a new reporting form on money transfers between individuals. It followed from it that the Central Bank would request information about all p2p transactions (from individuals to individuals), including personal data of senders and recipients of funds.
