Statute overview

About this statute

Foreign banks may operate in Russia through a branch only if they meet the statutory conditions; they must also keep required disclosures and personnel arrangements, and they are barred from manufacturing, trade, and insurance activities through the branch. Foreign banks seeking a branch license/accreditation in Russia must file specified documents, translate foreign-language documents into Russian, and legalize foreign official documents unless a treaty says otherwise. For foreign bank branches, the text adds reporting, AML, and supervision duties, and makes Bank of Russia oversight apply to them. The law extends many Bank of Russia rules to foreign bank branches in Russia and gives the Bank of Russia power to regulate, inspect, order fixes, and sanction them.
