In the first three months of the service, users sent 11.53 million applications to establish a ban and 504 thousand applications to cancel it. Thus, only 4.4% of previously imposed restrictions have been canceled.

Mostly, citizens choose a complete ban - 91% of all applications account for this option. Some users limit only remote loan processing - such bans account for about 4% of applications. The rest are distributed between bans on issuance in microfinance organizations and banks.

The most active age group is from 35 to 45 years old, accounting for 23% of all restrictions. Next are citizens aged 45-55 (21%), 55-65 (20%), over 65 (17%), 25-35 (12%) and youth under 25 (7%).

Moscow became the leader in the number of self-ban function connections - Muscovites sent 1.13 million applications to establish and 30 thousand to cancel restrictions.

The self-ban function helps to control the credit burden and protects against ill-considered loans, which contributes to the financial stability of the population.
