In Belarus, restrictions on bank cards and tighter control over accounts are being prepared - CPD
Kyiv • UNN
The National Bank of Belarus is preparing limits on payment cards and stricter account blocking to combat "drops". The measures are being synchronized with RF policy, changing the principles of the financial system.
In Belarus, they plan to introduce new financial restrictions, including limits on the number of payment cards and stricter rules for blocking citizens' accounts. This is reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation, writes UNN.
Details
According to available information, the National Bank of Belarus is preparing the relevant changes. The official reason is the fight against so-called "drops" – nominal persons through whom financial transactions are carried out.
It is noted that the new rules may provide for the blocking of cards in case of suspicious transactions, including ordinary transfers or payment for services. In such a case, clients will have to confirm the legality of the funds themselves.
The CPD indicates that such approaches effectively change the principle of operation of the financial system, transferring it to a format of enhanced control over citizens' actions.
Synchronization with RF policy
The new financial measures are considered as part of a broader policy of restrictions, which also includes changes in the field of digital infrastructure. In particular, it was previously reported about reducing internet speed and introducing traffic restrictions.
The CPD notes that these steps indicate the alignment of Belarus's internal policy with approaches that are already being applied in Russia.
