According to a statement by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, more than 20 million citizens have decided to set a self-ban on obtaining loans. This measure was taken as part of the fight against cyber fraud.
At a recent strategic session dedicated to this topic, Mishustin noted that the number of people who have limited the possibility of applying for consumer loans already exceeds this figure. In addition, 800 thousand Russians have decided to self-ban the registration of new mobile SIM cards.
The government urges the public to be careful and prudent when using financial services.
Experts note that a self-ban can help prevent accidental financial losses and protect personal data. Such initiatives show a growing awareness of the need to protect their financial interests.
The Prime Minister called for continued work in this direction and improvement of measures to counter fraud.
