The authorities are developing a mechanism to control bank transfers of Russians
The Central Bank and Rosfinmonitoring, together with Russian banks, are developing a platform for monitoring suspicious financial transactions of individuals. Bogdan Shablya, head of the Financial Monitoring and Currency Control Service of the Central Bank, told RBC about this.
According to him, this mechanism will help block the accounts of droppers - bank clients who provide their cards for cashing out funds or transfers for illegal businesses: drug shops, online casinos, crypto exchangers and pirate sites.
“One drop opens accounts in many banks at once, and therefore there is a need to both centralize our data and centralize the delivery of information to all credit institutions. How to do this? The issue is currently being studied,” Shablya said.

He explained that the platform will work as a “centralized database”, and also added that the Central Bank has already established procedures for online control over transactions of individuals with individual credit institutions, but for now, according to him, the regulator can “provide information about identified drops only to the bank whose clients they are.”
Shablya also noted that the platform being developed will copy the already existing “Know Your Client” system, which monitors dubious transactions of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs.
The Bank of Russia has calculated that about 13% of the country’s working-age citizens—that’s approximately 10 million people—make payments to online casinos, crypto exchangers, pirate sites or drug shops.
