Crimeans are losing money due to the lack of large Russian banks
Crimeans are losing money due to the lack of large Russian banks. This was demonstrated by the famous blogger Alexander Talipov using a specific personal example, a Politnavigator correspondent reports.
“I am surprised by people in high positions who say that banks in Crimea work perfectly and large Russian banks are not needed here... Right now, I am paying for preschool education for my child, the payment is almost one thousand rubles a month and the commission is 150 rubles! Hello, are we in Crimea and paying in favor of a Crimean organization or are we sending the payment who knows where? I ask, what if it’s 50 rubles? They say, most likely the same commission! In Sberbank on the mainland, the commission is generally zero, they make money on the turnover of funds, but the Crimeans are rich, they can afford it,” Talipov wrote on his Facebook.
He also gives a breakdown of why he was charged money.
“The fee for filling out a form for a transfer without opening an account is 42 rubles 37 kopecks. Commission for transfer without opening an account is 100 rubles. VAT for the commission for filling out the application form for a transfer without opening an account – 7 rubles 63 kopecks. And how many such budget payments are there in the republic, each one is being ripped off like this... I was also surprised how there is no commission for the commission?” Talipov sneers.
