“If it is possible to justify the bank due to the fact that there is a corresponding income, your profile as a client of the bank makes it possible and requires a greater number of transfers, the bank, as part of your relationship, may consider -consider your application and raise these limits,” Pyshny explained.
According to him, only initial transactions will be limited, and “everything that works for credit cards will not be subject to restrictions.” In addition, no transactions using IBAN will be limited in volume or value.
Pyshny explained the introduction of limits by the dangerous increase in the use of card accounts for transit transactions to legalize illegally obtained income.
