How will Rosfinmonitoring block dropper cards?
Rosfinmonitoring’s powers will be expanded in June 2025 – the service will begin to suspend clients’ transactions banks if illegal activity is suspected. According to the department’s management, blocking will be carried out under the following conditions:
the service will be able to quickly identify droplets providing cards for transfers and cash withdrawals; a request to block a suspicious account will be sent to the bank; suspension of service is possible for a period of no more than 10 days; mass blocking is not expected – only persons participating in dubious schemes will be at risk; the measure is intended to combat not only mules, but also the organizers of criminal businesses, increasing the costs of conducting illegal activities.
“Rosfinmonitoring does not plan to conduct mass blocking of cards – each case will be scrupulously checked, and decisions on restrictions will be made only on the basis of reliable data on fraud,” the head of the financial intelligence service noted.
Let us recall that it was droppers who “helped” criminals illegally cash out over 40 billion rubles in 2024. The number of people involved in dubious schemes exceeds 2 million people – some of them do not fully understand that they are participating in criminal activity.
What other measures to combat drops are being discussed in Russia?
Rosfinmonitoring is not the only agency planning to introduce new methods to combat fraud. Other agencies have previously announced increased control in the industry:
The Central Bank of the Russian Federation is preparing to launch a platform with information about individuals – if the risk level is high, banks will be able to refuse to enter into an agreement with a problematic client; the Ministry of Internal Affairs plans to introduce criminal liability for mules, including confiscation of the property of these individuals; the Bank of Russia wants to limit the number of bank cards opened in the name of one person – the extension of the validity period of the plastic will be possible only with the personal presence of the holder in the office.
At the same time, so far, it is the fraudsters who are winning the fight against law enforcement agencies, and the existing protection measures are not effective enough. At the same time, the restrictions being developed, as experts fear, may also affect honest citizens – blocking is possible as a result of an error.
