The Government Commission approved the introduction of a limit of 100 thousand rubles for transfers using transfer services without opening a bank account. This will reduce the outflow of capital from the country, considers the Ministry of Finance.
The innovation applies to customers who have undergone simplified personal identification. The bill was agreed with the Bank of Russia, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Digital Development, Roskomnadzor and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, RBC has learned.
In July 2023, Rosfinmonitoring, the Central Bank and banks agreed to limit the threshold for transferring funds without opening an account to 100 thousand rubles. Last summer, the ministry offered an amount of 60 thousand rubles, and to market participants – 600 thousand rubles.
- In May, Rosfinmonitoring proposed carrying out money transfers by indicating information about the recipient. The changes may come into force on January 1, 2026. According to the current version of the anti-money laundering law, when making a money transfer it is necessary to provide information only about the payer, information about the recipient is not required.
