Thanks to Kolomoisky: 5 billion Crimean deposits may “burn” in Privatbank
Moscow - Simferopol, April 04 (Navigator, Mikhail Stamm) - Privatbank, whose Moscow “daughter” was recently squeezed out of Russia, is looking for ways to sell its Crimean branches to the Russians, Kommersant writes. If he does not manage to do this in the coming days, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation will liquidate his Crimean business, and 5-7 billion rubles of citizens’ deposits will “burn out.”

There is currently only one Russian bank on the peninsula - the Russian National Commercial Bank (RNCB), controlled by the Crimean authorities. The remaining 180 banks are Ukrainian. Privatbank has the most branches – 337 – in Crimea. None of them serve customers.
Meanwhile, on April 2, Russia adopted a law regulating the operation of banks in Crimea and Sevastopol. It provides for the liquidation of Crimean units that do not fulfill their obligations to clients. At the same time, the first deputy chairman of the Central Bank, Alexei Simanovsky, especially paid attention to Privatbank branches.
The bank has only a few days to think about it, writes Kommersant. On March 21, the bank sent documents to obtain a Russian license, but there is no chance of receiving it, since the bank does not fulfill its obligations to clients.
If he does nothing, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation will liquidate him. According to the newspaper, the volume of citizens' funds in the Crimean branch of Privatbank is more than 20 billion rubles. At the same time, about 12-15 billion rubles fall under the state’s insurance liability. That is, 5 billion rubles will simply disappear.
Thus, only the sale of the Crimean branches of Privatbank can solve the problem, the newspaper writes. According to Kommersant, the bank is now studying this issue.
