Measures will be tough – the Central Bank warned banks against imposing conditions on deposits

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Mainfin Bank –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Why did complaints arise about additional conditions for deposits?

Russian investors complain about the behavior banks, which lure customers with higher rates, but require a number of actions to be taken to obtain generous terms. Among the banks that have requirements for high rates on deposits:

Yandex Bank – the 21% rate is valid only with the Plus subscription and once for 62 days;
VTB – 21.5% for 3 months, available only with MiXX subscription;
Sovcombank – a surcharge to the deposit rate of up to 4% is provided for purchases using the “Halva” card with the “Ten” subscription;
MTS Bank – the maximum rate is provided for card transactions over 90 thousand rubles per month;
Sberbank – the best conditions apply to “new money” that has not been stored in accounts for more than two months, as well as when connecting a subscription.

“It is becoming increasingly difficult to simply open a deposit – clients have to study a ton of conditions and meet dozens of criteria in order to receive a favorable interest rate: at the same time, the increased rates are valid for a limited period,” the expert noted.

Banks require depositors to connect paid subscriptions, turnover on cards, keep certain balances, receive salaries into an account – it is much more difficult to calculate the real profitability of such deposits, not to mention convenience and transparency for the client.

How does the Central Bank of the Russian Federation plan to combat the imposition of conditions on deposits?

The Bank of Russia is closely monitoring the situation on the savings products market – credit institutions have been recommended to honestly inform citizens about the terms and conditions and to abandon the practice of putting forward numerous requirements to receive a higher rate. If the recommendations are not followed, the regulator will have to develop amendments to the legislation or create a banking standard to restore order in the industry.

Let us recall that the high key rate has led to a surge in the popularity of deposits – this year, balances on individuals’ accounts have grown by 6%, amounting to over 61 trillion rubles: by the end of the year, the figure could reach 70 trillion rubles. However, after the key rate was reduced (from 21 to 20%), banks began to massively revise the terms of deposits for the worse, but the demand for deposits and savings accounts remains high.

Financial news: Registration of the European protocol

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Central Bank of Russia –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Updated: 04.07.2025

A special mobile application – "Gosuslugi Avto", "OSAGO Assistant" or the insurer's own application with the ability to issue an electronic Europrotocol – allows you to fill out a notification of an accident without calling the traffic police to the scene of the accident, as well as take photographs of the damage.

The law provides for two options for registering an accident — with or without photo recording. In the case of photo recording without disagreement on the circumstances of the accident, the maximum limit of compensation under OSAGO is 400 thousand rubles, if photo recording is performed and there is disagreement — 200 thousand rubles, and when there is no photo recording and no disagreement — 100 thousand rubles (Article 11.1 of the Law on OSAGO). It is worth considering that if there is disagreement between drivers on the circumstances of the accident or the nature of the damage to vehicles, photo recording is mandatory for registering an accident without traffic police officers, without it, the insurance payment is not guaranteed. Make sure that the photos have been successfully uploaded through the application — wait for a confirmation notification.

Mobile applications are available for download in application stores (App Store, Google Play), as well as onPublic servicesor websites of insurance companies.
