According to the document, quoted by Forklog, bank officials should open their eyes for unusual growth in transaction volume, withdrawals to other jurisdictions and transactions associated with digital currency. The monitoring should also cover operations by persons and entities in circumvention of foreign currency restrictions and withdrawal of assets by organizations registered in “unfriendly” countries.
“In such cases, banks are advised to conduct an in-depth check on the client, consider refusing to complete the transaction and classifying it as suspicious,” the CBR said in the notice which had been coordinated with Rosfinmonitoring, the main financial watchdog in the Russian Federation.
