The Central Bank warned Russians about the possible blocking of transfers to themselves
The regulator warned Russians about the difficulties they may encounter when transferring funds between their accounts.
The Central Bank explained when a transfer to oneself can be blocked.
If the bank sees signs of a suspicious transaction, the transfer may be blocked, Izvestia writes.
The regulator recalled that the law describes cases when attempts to transfer funds may be suspended or rejected.
For example, if there is a suspicion that fraudulent transactions are being carried out, the bank has the right to delay payment for 2 days or refuse the client altogether.
But experts are skeptical about such measures. They believe that blocking transactions will make life more difficult for ordinary customers than for fraudsters.
Analysts also admit that banks may use blocking as a lever of influence on clients, preventing them from transferring funds to deposits in other financial and credit institutions with more favorable conditions.
