** Title: **New Anti-Fraud Measures Crack Down on Money Transfers in Russia
In the midst of 2025, a shift in the money transfer landscape hit Russia. Card-to-card transactions are now under scrutiny, with financial institutions permitted to freeze operations without a solid reason or court order. Renowned Senator Olga Epifanova shed light on the focus areas, including frequent, unexplained repayments and unusual purchases that deviate from cardholder norms, as detailed by federal sources.
The increased vigilance extends beyond straightforward legal violations. If your bank deems your activities suspicious, even legitimate transactions may find themselves in the hot seat. The system will be on high alert for any anomalous actions, such as deposits, transfers, or payments that veer from the norm in a client's behavior.
In this new landscape, individuals need to be prepared. Cardholders will be notified on the day of the transaction freeze, and within three business days, they should receive an explanation for the blockage.
