THE CENTRAL BANK ASKS TO LIQUIDATE THE INDUSTRIAL SAVINGS BANK
The Central Bank of the Russian Federation appealed to the judicial authorities with a demand to terminate the activities of JSC CB IS Bank. The reason for this step was the cancellation of this institution's permission to conduct banking activities, fixed by order of the Central Bank No. OD-2812 dated December 12 last year. At that time, the credit institution was in the 225th position in the rating of Russian credit institutions in terms of assets.
It is important to note that IS Bank was not a member of the deposit insurance system. This fact deprived his clients of the protection of government guarantees for the return of their funds.
The Moscow Arbitration Court (AC GM) has already accepted the regulator's application for proceedings (case no. A40-363764/2025). Hearings on the merits of the issue are scheduled for January 28. According to the established rules for the consideration of such cases, a preliminary court hearing is not provided.
The reasons for revoking the license are systemic in nature. The regulator found repeated and gross violations. The year 2025 was a period when various supervisory response measures were applied to the bank. However, they did not have the desired effect. The owners and managers of the financial institution, according to the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, showed passivity and did not take any real steps to remedy the critical situation.
Among the key claims are serious shortcomings in the field of combating money laundering. The Bank ignored the requirements of financial monitoring by conducting questionable transactions, the legality and economic purpose of which raised questions. A significant part of client transactions, as established by the regulator, was aimed at withdrawing capital to the shadow sector.
A separate problem was the risky business model. The bank's activities were mainly based around lending to unreliable borrowers. At the same time, the management deliberately underestimated the risk assessment, which directly threatened the economic stability of the organization.
In parallel with the main license, the Central Bank revoked the permission of IS Bank to carry out operations with securities. A temporary administration was introduced to manage the organization during the transition period. The powers of the former management of the bank have been suspended.
According to the regulator, all information about suspicious transactions will be sent to the competent law enforcement agencies for verification and procedural decision-making. The initiative to force liquidation through the court is a natural result of the whole range of measures applied by the regulator to the Industrial Savings Bank after the detection of gross and irreparable violations.
