In December 2025, the total amount of funds held by individuals in Russian banks reached 67 trillion rubles (+5.6%, or +3.6 trillion rubles), according to the Central Bank of Russia (CBR).

The regulator attributed the increase to traditional year-end advance payments of January social benefits, including pensions and child allowances (a type of state-supported payment for families with children), as well as annual bonuses and performance-related payments.

Overall, the volume of individual funds in the Russian banking system grew by 16.2% or 9.5 trillion rubles in 2025.
