Russian banks have begun massively blocking remote access to business accounts due to suspicious transactions. In the months of January-July, the Central Bank received 23,800 complaints about refusal of operations or account restrictions. This is a third more than in the same period last year. At the same time, about 8% of all applications (about 1,800) were from businesses, Izbastia writes. Businessmen complain about online banking being blocked. Another online businessman said the bank blocked remote access and ignored the "stack of checks" he brought to remove the restriction.
