The Central Bank plans to determine the amount of funds that banks must return to customers who have become victims of fraudsters. It is reported by RBC with reference to the materials of the Central Bank on the plans to make changes to the 161-FZ “On the National Payment System”.
“The main prerequisites for making changes to the law are: the observed picture for the share of money refund to customers, the need for a significant modernization of the mechanism to counter funds and return funds written off from customer accounts,” said Vadim Uvarov, director of the Information Security Department.
It is noted that for the third quarter of this year, fraudsters have kidnapped 3.2 billion rubles from banking clients by non-bank transfers, while banks returned to customers only 7.7 percent of the stolen funds.
