The National Bank does not support a mechanism for freezing citizens’ bank transfers from 10 thousand rubles. to fight scammers. This was told to socialbites.ca by the representative of the regulator Danis Yumabaev.
“What is being discussed in the media today consists of the individual statements of the experts of the Central Bank Financial Services Consumer Protection Board. It includes various personalities who meet periodically to discuss various topics and present their ideas. Naturally, what is said today about blocking transfers of 10 thousand rubles or more – we do not support this. We believe it is stupid and awkward to support all this,” Yumabaev stressed.
He added that the freezing mechanism transferred 10 thousand rubles. It cannot even be considered as an initiative.
“The experts just met and discussed anti-fraud issues. So it’s not even an attempt. Parallel to this, the Central Bank has its own measures. Some passed the first reading, others are in the approval phase,” Yumabaev summarized.
On August 10, the media reported that the Central Bank suggested Freeze transfers exceeding 10 thousand rubles. in accounts until the user passes additional id.
It was noted that the initiative was proposed as a new measure to combat fraudsters. By design, it is necessary to enter an additional user ID or PIN code to “decode” a sent transfer or when obtaining a loan.
