Russian banks have suppressed dubious financial transactions worth 300 billion rubles in a year

In 2025, Russian banks suppressed dubious financial transactions totaling about 300 billion rubles. This was announced on June 25 by German Neglyad, State Secretary and Deputy Director of Rosfinmonitoring, at the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum.

"Last year, if I remember correctly, our banks suspended suspicious transactions for 300 billion rubles, that is, they saved citizens' funds in this way. Yes, sometimes there are false positives, but the appeal for them is less than 1%," said the deputy head of the department, broadcast on the Roscongress website.

Neglyad stressed that the suppression of transactions directly at the stage of transfer of funds is the most effective method of combating criminal proceeds. He explained that attempts to return money after the completion of the operation through investigative or judicial mechanisms are highly complex and do not always bring results.

The State secretary of Rosfinmonitoring added that a suspicious transaction must be analyzed and blocked in those fractions of a second during which the transfer takes place, since the suppression of activity at the start is critically important.
