ABOUT THE EVENT

The banking landscape is subject to constant changes in regulations, impacted both by sanctions and compliance issues.
In light of the announced withdrawal of some banks from the Russian market and their service reduction, SCHNEIDER GROUP experts will share their insights and forecasts on the possible impact for operations with those banks and will also present the examples of banks who are continuing to open accounts.
We will be also discussing currency control limitations, challenges and risks as an important part of the big picture of the banking sector.
