The international banking environment in Russia is experiencing continual shifts in regulations, influenced by both sanctions and compliance matters. With the further withdrawal of international banks from the Russian market, companies face uncertainties in operations and service accessibility.
Join us at our upcoming event, where SCHNEIDER GROUP experts will offer invaluable perspectives into the evolving banking landscape, discussing the potential impacts on banking operations amidst changing regulations and sharing examples of best practice. They will also showcase banks successfully navigating these challenges, offering concrete examples for account openings. Practical insights will also be provided by representatives from OTP Bank.
Additionally, we will also explore current currency control limitations, challenges and risks as well tax considerations in Russia as an important part of the bigger picture of the banking sector.
If you have any questions regarding the event please contact Laurie Pirson.
