Russia”s central bank is considering the closure of bureaux de change, which involved only one type of operations - conversion, said director of the department of licensing and financial recovery of the Central Bank of Russia Mikhail Sukhov, at a meeting with bankers in Bor. There are banks that provide customers with a wide range of services, which include foreign exchange transactions, passed the word Sukhova one of the participants, but there are those that deal almost exclusively foreign exchange, creating an extensive network of exchange offices - they have a small margin, but large volume of transactions and they interfere with living a normal banks. “With this second group, we will fight and in some cases, simply closing” - cut Sukhov.

The bank has additional offices, operational offices, credit and cash offices, the currency can be exchanged in the usual office of a bank, and the form of bank offices in the form of the exchange points may disappear, transfers to another banker, who had listened to an address Sukhova. First, said Sukhov, consumers are now less than 10-15 years ago, use the services of bureaux de change, and secondly, and this is probably a good reason, the client there may simply be deceived. If the exchanger will not, CBR will be better able to control the exchange operations of banks, concluded Sukhov.

idea of closing exchangers few months ago expressed the Russian Central Bank chairman Sergei Ignatiev, remembers one of his friends. But Sukhova can be understood and so that the regulator has decided to gradually move in that direction, rather than cut straight from the shoulder, he says: if the exchange points will expand its services, they can, and do not have to close. From the speech Sukhova unclear, decided to close the Central exchangers or not, says another banker who was in Bor.

at last year”s cheating on the exchange offices in Moscow drew the attentionf0aof the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS), the officials brought the case against the banks” regional finance, Vympel and the Joint Development Bank. FAS has revealed a mismatch in currency exchange rates on external media and inside the exchanger.

Most exchangers in central Moscow, according to intelligence, engaged in fraudulent activities and is engaged in cheating gullible citizens of the exchange, said central staff Ministry of Internal Affairs and the applicable laws and instructions of the Central Bank of Russia did not allow police to check on his own initiative such as banks and formally wards of bureaux de change, where committed numerous offenses. If the Central Bank of Russia would take the initiative, will fight against this evil and he will need help from the police, the Interior Ministry authorities are ready to provide necessary assistance, he promised.

“Exchange rates - one of the most popular public services, and in exchange rate more favorable than at banks. Therefore, the main issue - whether banks are providing this service, not understating the exchange rate”, - said spokesman Prime Minister Dmitry Peskov.
