Starting from February 23, Russian banks will strengthen the protection of operations with digital rubles, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Property, Land and Property Relations, member of the National Financial Council of the Bank of Russia Sergey Gavrilov informs.

Financial institutions may suspend transfers for two days if fraud is suspected.

For regular transfers, a similar mechanism has been in effect since July 25, 2024. All banks, when suspicious transactions are detected, inform customers about the possible risk of fraud.

«Suspension of the order becomes a kind of cooling-off period&"to avoid hasty decisions that may result from pressure from intruders or careless actions under stress," the deputy noted.
