Central bank took on large cash The Bank of Russia advised banks to check the origin of large amounts of cash. The regulator fears that criminal proceeds are laundered through them and the "shadow" is brought into legal circulation. For citizens, the threshold is 5 million rubles one time or per month, for companies and individual entrepreneurs any amount. They will check deposits of cash into the account, transfers without opening an account, purchases of gold and diamonds and currency exchange for cash. The bank has the right to request documents on the source of the money. If there are no documents or there are doubts, the operation is considered suspicious and may be rejected. The central bank promises that it will not affect honest people. But let's remember why citizens switched to cash in the first place: the tax on interest on deposits is increasing, bank data centers are under attack by drones, trust in non-cash transactions is decreasing a vicious circle: first people were pushed into the cache, now this cache will be tested. And the pensioner who saved for an apartment "under the mattress" will have to prove that she is not a criminal. TG | | MAX.
