Banks are allowed to close accounts disappeared Companies

Yesterday, the Presidium reviewed the application bank Slavia on supervisory review of decisions of lower courts who had refused to satisfy the claim of the bank to terminate the contract bank account with a customer – JSC “Aragon.” As follows from the case, the reason for the treatment of the bank with such a claim was the failure to notify the customer of the bank to change its location, though the obligation has been enshrined in the contract of bank account. Courts of first, appellate and cassation instances have refused to terminate the contract bank account on this basis, stating that Art. 859 of the Civil Code, which regulates the issue of termination of your bank account contains only two reasons for the closure of the customer’s account in court: nepodderzhanie within a month minimum balance on it and the lack of account transactions during the year. Outside court the bank may close the account to the client in the absence of funds for its operations and on it within two years. Such reason the bank was not (account transactions were conducted).
his position Bank Slavia argued the norm antiotmyvochnogo legislation that allows the client to refuse, whose whereabouts could not be determined, in opening an account. However, the courts of three instances considered not apply a similar analogy.
Presidium of the decisions of lower courts have disagreed, and upheld the bank terminated the contract of bank account with the client indicates operative part ruling, which was published yesterday on the site are .
reasoning in the decision, where the Presidium justify its decision, will appear later. But how should the definition of the transfer of cases to the Bureau, after considering the matter, three judges agreed with the logic of the bank. “By law (the judge referred to the same rule of law antiotmyvochnogo that the bank .-” b “) to provide reliable information on the whereabouts of the legal entity is essential for the bank account agreement”, – stated in the definition of EAC. Therefore, his violation of the contract of bank account may be terminated not by specific rules of the Civil Code to terminate the contract of bank account, and based on common norms of the Civil Code of termination of any contract.
Thus, the Presidium extended to banks in the list of grounds for judicial closure of client accounts at the initiative of the bank. “Practice when YOU extends letter of the law to increase their compliance with the spirit – to identify the client at all stages of interaction with him, and not just at the opening of accounts, is quite common, – said partner Law Firm Partnership Legal Aid Sergey Romanov. & Mdash ; Resolution of the Presidium required for the execution of arbitral tribunals inferior courts, and now the banks will be able to court to demand the closure of the customer’s account if the “virtuality” of his whereabouts raises doubts about the legality of its activities “.
problem which has helped banks to solve the Presidium, is relevant, indicate the market participants. “Change of address after an account is found very often – says the head of the Financial Monitoring Service of one bank .- When an account is opened, the documents provided to a normal company, with a real address, office and even a semblance of real activity. And when there comes the need to conduct for him questionable transactions, for example obnalnye, the company disappears from the specified address, and find it impossible. ” As a result, the bank faces the risk of claims from the direct control of the Central Bank in the face of inadequate monitoring compliance with legislation antiotmyvochnogo indicates market participants.
“The Presidium has established a good precedent, as now, banks have very limited set of tools to perform antiotmyvochnogo legislation – said the director of the legal department of Promsvyazbank Tatyana Kuzmina .- By law, we must in case of dubious transactions require the account holder an additional proof of its “normality”, but in practice this situation can not do this . Ability to close the account of the “disappeared” to the client solves this problem “.
However, market participants indicate that the real problem is much broader, and the Presidium has decided it only partly. “It is essential that the MPs adopted amendments to the civil law, allowing banks to extrajudicial refuse to open or to terminate the contract of bank accounts with clients whose activities involve a reputational and legal risks for the bank – said ARB Chairman of the Committee on combating money laundering and Financing of Terrorism, Alexander Naumov .- Change client location does not otdnoznachno testify about his illegal activities. Such a conclusion can only be done on the set of indications fictitious customer activity “.
expand its reach the unilateral closure of accounts bankers lobbied for several years, with the support and the Central Bank, and Rosfinmonitoring, said a member of the Duma Committee on Financial Markets Pavel Medvedev. “However, against the main advocates of state-legal department (GGPU) president – he says .- According to logic GGPU, granting banks the right to close customer accounts at its sole discretion associated with the risk of a sharp deterioration of economic conditions for business, because in our country for This necessarily need a bank account “.
reduction rate on the loan, which EBV issued by the Agency for Housing Mortgage Lending (AHML), from 9,5 to 6,5% will reduce the investment returns of pension funds. Given that in the medium term EBV will actively invest in mortgages, pension funds, the yield on them will also be less. It turns out that the state would prefer to encourage mortgage lending through the WEB at the expense of profitability of pensioners, who have already lost a lot during the crisis.
Recently, the state continues to promote policies to reduce rates. Recently, the head of the Duma Committee on financial market Vladislav Reznik asked the Government amended the law “On additional measures to support the financial system of Russia. One of the main amendments to Mr. Reznik – reduction rates on credits extended by VEB AHML to 6,5%. VEB has AHML 40 billion rubles. Allocated from the fund under natsblagosostoyaniya 9,5% per annum up to 2020. The money would AHML through banks to encourage lending to affordable housing economy class.
Now the situation in the money and credit market had changed: the banks are finding it uninteresting to attract loans from AHML at a high rate (taking into account VEB bid to receive around 11%). This year, the VEB has been allocated 250 billion rubles. from the RPF to purchase mortgage-backed bonds from banks and AHML issued at a rate of no more than 11%.
However, decline in yield on the mortgage would fall in the profitability of securitized loans, which would adversely affect the demand for these securities with of potential investors – NPFov. “It is unlikely NPFy be interested in purchasing mortgage-backed securities with low returns” – believed the president of First National Pension Fund Vitaly Plotnikov. Moreover, he said, will be important, as these securities will be packed, whether a state guarantee on them as they are liquid. “Instead of such securities NPFy, rather, will invest in corporate bonds: they are more liquid, and the yield they have almost the same”, – said Mr. Plotnikov.
«If Rates on mortgages will continue to decline and will be below market, the demand will not have to say, moreover, in terms of liquidity to invest pension reserves in the mortgage securities NPFy will not be referred only to investments of savings opportunities, “- said General Director of Asset Management Capital ; Vadim Teats.
Thus, EBV is actually becoming one of the major players in the mortgage market. As the largest investor of pension funds (85% of pension savings), it stimulates the issuance of mortgage, and buying bonds. And given that the lion’s share of the mortgage market is, according to Expert RA, the Savings Bank (63%), who is also the conductor of state policy, it turns out that the state controls the entire mortgage market and pensions, lowering rates for mortgages, is responsible for fall in the profitability of pension funds.
