The Central Bank revoked Aktsionerny Bank Pushkino's bank license, a statement on the regulator's website said Monday.
The reason for canceling Pushkino's banking license was failure to comply with the regulations set forth by the Central Bank, Vedomosti reported.
The regulator also referred to the "proven facts" of significant discrepancies in the bank's reported data as well as numerous violations of money laundering laws.
Pushkino was estimated to have 23 billion rubles ($710 million) in assets at the beginning of July.
The bank's insurance will compensate customers for 100 percent of their deposits up to 700,000 rubles. Remaining repayments will be repaid during the bank's liquidation process.
Investcafe analyst Roman Grinchenko told Vedomosti that the bank's failure was expected after its losses last year. Pushkino currently has an estimated 17 billion rubles in debt.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
