Banks will give access to information prohibited in Russia

Russian authorities will give banks partial access to information prohibited in the country, RBC writes. The Central Bank, Rosfinmonitoring and Roskomnadzor were agreed upon receipt.

It is about access to a part of information from a single registry of prohibited information that are necessary to combat translations to illegal online casinos. It is assumed that this will be a list of prohibited domain names.

At the same time, such domain names will be provided in an encrypted form. Thus, representatives of credit institutions can only verify the presence of desired suspicious Internet addresses in the list of prohibited.

The representative of Roskomnadzor explained the publication of the principle of operation of a new mechanism. “Roskomnadzor through a personal account on the website of the Bank of Russia will be able to transfer unloading with a list of references contained in a single register in encrypted form. Deciphering its organizations will be able to only have a specific reference to the corresponding Internet resource of the organization with which certain financial transactions are being carried out – he explained.

by law banks are relying fines for the execution of the client’s instructions about the transfer of funds to the online casino account. Thus, banks violate the requirements of the law on combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism. However, the Central Bank has previously temporarily postponed the application of these fines, since banks could not independently determine the degree of reliability of the beneficiary and the legality of the payment.
