### Russian Banks to Limit Transactions for Suspicious Customers The State Duma (Russian lower house of parliament) has received a draft bill that would impose restrictions on certain banking operations for clients whose financial activity raises concerns. According to the proposal, starting from March 1, 2028, banks will be able to set a monthly limit of 30,000 rubles ($350) for cash deposits and another 30,000 rubles for receiving transfers from other individuals, reports Russian business daily Vedomosti. The initiative aims to make it harder to use bank accounts in shadow schemes, including activities of so-called "droppers" — individuals who provide their accounts and cards for dubious financial transactions. However, experts warn that legitimate customers could also be affected. In particular, the restrictions may create difficulties for self-employed individuals who receive payments for goods and services via transfers from other individuals.
