More than 700,000 residents of Tatarstan have imposed self-restrictions on loans since March 1 of this year.

      As of March 1 of this year, 737,212 residents of Tatarstan have imposed a self-ban on obtaining loans. This was reported at a press conference by Albert Yakovlev, Deputy Minister of Digital Development of State Administration, Information Technologies, and Communications of the Republic of Tatarstan. "Today, it is very easy to impose a self-ban on loans – it can be done through public services or physically through the MFC. The first method has already been used by 680,792 people since March 1 of this year. During the same period, 56,420 people have imposed a self-ban through the MFC," Albert Yakovlev said. The establishment of a self-ban on loans is an effective measure against cyber fraudsters, as a person will no longer be able to take out a loan, even if they fall under the influence of criminals.
