Центробанк: платежные агенты в России стали незаконно использовать персональные данные клиентов

Russians' data is used to open electronic wallets and high-risk transactions

Some payment agents (a legal entity or individual entrepreneur accepting funds from a client in favor of a third party) in Russia have begun to illegally use clients' personal data. In a letter to the country's credit institutions, the Central Bank called for increased control over transactions.

The regulator pointed out that after stealing personal data, fraudsters open electronic wallets and use them for high-risk transactions. In addition, they carry out settlements with shadow businesses and make transfers to online casinos and bookmakers. The Central Bank recommended checking the integrity of payment agents.

Against the backdrop of Western sanctions, Russian businesses have had to switch to settlements through intermediaries. These are legal entities registered in China, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and the UAE.

Earlier it was reported that due to difficulties with monetary payments with other countries, the delivery times for auto parts have increased. This also affected the repair time of cars under OSAGO.
