In the first half of 2026, the number of business complaints to the central bank about blocking accounts and refusing transactions increased by 33% from year to year, Izbastia writes. In total, in the months of January-July, the regulator received 23.8 thousand such applications, of which about 1.8 thousand were from companies. Lawyers attribute the increase in restrictions to the expansion of the criteria for suspicious transactions under 115-FZ and the unification of databases of banks and government authorities in an anti-fraud system, which increases the number of false results.
