Georgia’s largest private bank, the Bank of Georgia, has canceled the requirement to “condemn the special operation” in Ukraine for Russians who want to open an account, reported “RIA News” in the bank.

“Regulations that were previously introduced by our bank no longer exist. A citizen of Russia will not have to sign these documents, while the application of the person to open a bank account will be considered by the commission, the decision is made on an individual basis, ”the financial institution said.

RBC sent a request to the press service of the Bank of Georgia.

Another Georgian bank, Terabank, reported “RIA News”that did not introduce “no new regulations”. All Russian citizens in Georgia, except for those under sanctions, like other foreigners, can open a bank account and receive appropriate services, it noted. The same was noted in the TVS bank. “We do not force any documents to be signed,” the agency was told there.

Majority of Georgians supported the lifting of sanctions against Russia
