Banks and NSPK prepare October pilot to delist restituting users from fraud database
Published · Updated
What happened
Vedomosti said NSPK, the Bank of Russia, and banks are preparing a pilot update for the Goodwill service in October that would automatically remove payment details from the Bank of Russia's fraud database after voluntary repayment of stolen money.
Why it matters
If implemented, the pilot would change the operating rules around one of Russia's financial anti-fraud controls by creating a formal path for database removal after restitution. That affects bank compliance workflows, customer access to payment services, and incentives for fraud recovery.
Vedomosti reported on September 24 that the National Payment Card System (NSPK), the Bank of Russia, and commercial banks are preparing an October pilot upgrade to the "Goodwill" anti-fraud service. Under the reported design, a person whose payment details were entered into the central bank's fraud database could be removed automatically after voluntary restitution of stolen funds. The pilot would alter how banks handle flagged payment credentials, balancing fraud control with account usability and customer remediation.
