The Central Bank does not consider it necessary to reduce the limit for free transfers between citizens’ accounts in different banks – p2p transfers – below 1.4 million rubles, stated Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina at a press conference. His words were reported by TASS.
“As for the possibility of transferring your own money from one bank to another free of charge within the limits of 1.4 million rubles. Our position here has not changed. We understand that some banks are against it. However, we consider it important that people have the right to freely transfer their savings from one bank to another, at least within the insured amount.”
Big banks opposed the introduction of the relevant limit, knowledgeable RBC.
For the first time, about the possibility of canceling commissions up to 1.4 million rubles for p2p transfers. month Nabiullina reported two years ago. Having such an initiative, the bill was passed by the State Duma at the first reading in December last year. We are talking about transfers, including the Fast Payment System (FPS) and financial platforms.
