Money in Qiwi wallets are electronic means of payment and are not subject to insurance under Federal Law No. 177. However, users are still recognized as third-priority creditors within the framework of the liquidation procedure of Qiwi Bank, whose license was revoked by the Central Bank. This was reported by the state Deposit Insurance Agency.
The agency has distributed a memo on how to file a claim for funds:
- Fill out an application
- Attach a copy of your passport and other documents confirming ownership of the wallet
- Send the application and other documents by mail to: 127994, Moscow, GSP-4, GK ASV
A creditor's claim can be filed at any time during the period of the bank's temporary administration, as well as 60 days after its bankruptcy and liquidation. The agency will review the application within one month of receipt.
Consequences of the revocation of Qiwi Bank's license
Qiwi has stopped providing services for paying for mobile communications, TV, internet, and AppStore subscriptions. In addition, there have been problems with payments for clients of Raiffeisenbank, OTP Bank, Gazprombank, Unicreditbank, Rosselkhozbank, Ozon Bank, and Metallinvestbank.
Tochka Bank was forced to suspend operations because the service was through Qiwi Bank accounts. In the ATR Bank and OTP Bank applications, transfers of funds from card to card were limited.
It is known that employees of a number of companies did not receive part of their February salaries, since Qiwi Bank was the settlement bank. The СommEX crypto exchange was unable to withdraw rubles through the fiat channel due to its connection with the bank.
The Moscow Exchange has decided to exclude Qiwi depositary receipts from the indices. A depositary receipt is a certificate that certifies ownership of shares or bonds of a company that are traded on a foreign exchange.
The day before, the Central Bank revoked Qiwi Bank's license for systematic violation of Russian laws, including money laundering. The materials have been submitted to law enforcement agencies for verification.
Addition:
The Deposit Insurance Agency (state-owned) reported that the volume of funds in Qiwi Bank's virtual wallets is 4.4 billion rubles. The organization has sufficient assets to settle with all creditors, including wallet holders.
The agency warned Russians that Qiwi Bank duplicate websites have appeared on the Internet. With their help, fraudsters offer to withdraw funds from electronic wallets for a reward. After receiving the money, the criminals do not get in touch with Qiwi clients.
