The draft law on the restriction of Internet payments adopted in first reading

Yes, and another bill was passed in the first reading, a bill that probably applies to the majority of representatives of the community. It is about strengthening control over electronic money transfers. The restriction itself is included in the law on countering terrorism, but, as far as can be judged, it will affect not so much terrorists as the owners of purses of various electronic payment systems.



In the first reading, deputies approved restrictions on operations conducted with non-personable online wallets. By such wallets, they mean accounts that are not tied to a specific natural or legal person. So, these wallets can not participate in operations, the amount of which per day exceeds a thousand rubles, and per month - 15 thousand rubles.



The balance on a non-personalized wallet should not exceed five thousand rubles. Plus, a mandatory control is introduced for payments whose amount exceeds 100 thousand rubles.
