This is stated in the RBC material with reference to two intermediaries helping Russians open cards.

According to the data presented, the company sent out messages asking for urgent documents that would confirm the presence of a residence permit.

One of the intermediaries, Sergei Ovsyannikov, said that the central office of Denizbank has not yet explained why it needed this information. There is also no statement about the bank’s intention to close the accounts of a certain category of Russians.

Earlier, a RIA Novosti source in the Turkish banking sector reported that Russia and Turkey intend to create a bank to solve problems with transfers.
