“Banks should limit the functions of issuing and receiving banknotes at ATMs operating in the recycling mode, if possible,” the press service said.
As the regulator explained, the design of such machines provides for the acceptance of bills from one client and the issuance of the same banknotes to another without processing.
In addition, it is proposed to regularly disinfect the devices, and before issuing cash to customers, to withstand banknotes for a period that ensures guaranteed death of the virus.
The Central Bank also indicated the priority use of non-cash payment.
Earlier, Sberbank allowed the provision of mortgage vacations due to the coronavirus.
