The Central Bank advised banks to control the receipt of large amounts of cash The Bank of Russia issued instructions to credit institutions on identifying sources of funds when customers carry out transactions with large amounts of cash. This is necessary for the timely identification of suspicious transactions that may be aimed at laundering the proceeds of crime, including the introduction of shadow cash into legal circulation. The measures are aimed at transactions in amounts that are not typical of companies' businesses or payments to an individual's household. For the latter, large amounts are considered 5 million ₽ once or a total of the same amount per month. The recommendations affect a narrow segment of the bank's customers, do not affect the interests of conscientious citizens and help make the control procedures more understandable.
