⚡️Sberbank🇷🇺 strengthened control over user operations and blocked accounts from which transactions with cryptocurrencies were made

Cryptocurrency transactions are now considered "suspicious" - until further clarification is provided.

➖ If the client can verify their cryptocurrency income with screenshots of cryptocurrency exchange sites or other corresponding services, the card will be unblocked.

Sber is implementing this type of surveillance in accordance with the new "recommendations" from the Bank of Russia, which were announced exactly one month ago.

➖ The financial institution is also recommended to limit advertising containing any information about cryptocurrencies.

➖ In 2023, the number of court cases related to digital assets increased by 72%. The total number of cases in which cryptocurrency was mentioned in some way was 2,653.

Merchants and card buyers familiar with the situation report that the cards do not last even two weeks in operation.
