The Federal Antimonopoly Service warned Tinkoff Bank due to advertising of brokerage services. The service considered that the conversation topics used in the video led to obtaining unjustified advantages.
“The bank is broadcasting a video on YouTube about its intermediation services. The comparative phrase “And the best of our time is Tinkoff Investments” is used in the materials without indicating objective comparison criteria,” explains the service’s message on the Telegram channel.
According to the FAS, such actions can give the company unjustified advantages over its competitors. The commercial shows signs of violation of competition law.
Tinkoff Bank must now change the video so that it contains all the necessary data. The company may also remove this content and report it on its website.
In early January, the FAS commented on the advertising of Alfa Bank debit cards. The service was deemed inadequate.
