A number of large state-owned banks oppose the limit of 1.4 million rubles for commission-free transfers between their accounts in different banks – despite the active position of Nabiullina, writes MK. At one time, there was strong resistance from individual players, and when the Fast Payment System was introduced, then they also lost income in the form of commissions, which lay on the shoulders of customers. Nevertheless, today SBP has already become a popular and familiar service for payments and transfers. Probably, taking into account the position of the head of the Central Bank, the outcome of the sequel to the epic “payment slavery” will again be in favor of the regulator and the interests of customers. @banksta

Since the beginning of 2023, the value of preferred and ordinary shares of Sberbankan at the auctions of the Moscow Exchange is close to parity. The equivalent value of Sberbank’s securities was reached for the first time in history in January 2023, Promsvyazbank analysts say. As of March 28, 17:35 Moscow time, the price of one preferred share was 212.8 rubles, and an ordinary share was 212.9 rubles. The parity, and sometimes even the excess of the value of “prefs” over the “common” ones, became especially pronounced after the Supervisory Board of Sberbank recommended paying shareholders the same dividends for these securities for 2022 – 25 rubles per share. @banksta
