• 3. Tips for getting a loan with a bad history
• 6. Earn money by taking out a bank loan

Everyone knows that if a person has poorly established himself as a conscientious loan payer, sooner or later he will have to face a refusal to issue a loan or a loan from banks. Several methods will help you cope with this difficult task, which you can learn about in this article, one of which is banks that do not check credit history their clients. However, there are other ways out of this situation.

1. Check your credit history

Of course the best way This means paying off outstanding loans as quickly as possible and turning to banks that are less strict about the client’s “past” or completely turn a blind eye to these aspects.

Check credit histories of almost everyone financial institutions started only in 2008. Previously, banks gave loans to almost everyone and they were not afraid of the possibility of not repaying the loans on time. But, as you might have guessed, at this time there were a lot of scammers who took out loans and disappeared.

Banks began to suffer large losses, which forced them to think about checking the credit histories of clients to whom loans were issued, which over time eased the situation somewhat.

In order to reduce the risk of non-payment of loans, the Credit History Bureau was created. There is a case-story of every citizen who took out a loan at least once in his life. The shelf life of the file is about 15 years.

What kind of credit history is there - excellent, very good, good, average, "poor"

The main parameters that guide the Credit History Bureau:

1. Gross violation. Partial or complete non-repayment of the loan.
2. Average violation. Systematic delay in payments.
3. Norm. Short-term delay in payments (up to 5 days).

Any person can be susceptible to such violations. And there are many reasons for late payment. Here there is also simple inattention, for example, the payer has not read the agreement well or deposits money into the wrong account. Or tragic coincidences.

There are also frequent cases technical problems when money arrives much later than the appointed day. In addition, the bank may not immediately notice the delay and notify the client already too late.

It happens that a person thinks that he has closed a loan, and over the years a few kopecks turn into significant amounts. To prevent this from happening with money matters, you need to be extremely careful and remember that you will still have to pay the bank.

As for the best way out of this situation, this is, of course, to pay off outstanding loans as quickly as possible and turn to banks that are more loyal to the client’s “past” or completely turn a blind eye to these aspects.

• We recommend reading -

It will be extremely problematic to take out a loan if you have had items in your credit history such as conflicts with the bank and the bank security service. If the matter came to court or agencies for collecting loans - debt obligations, then your affairs are very bad.

For banks that provide loans to their clients with a less-than-ideal (“damaged”) credit history, several points that you must comply with are fundamentally important.

• Repayment of all loans (no one will go into details, the fact of repayment is important);
• Cooperation with banks is welcome (friendly). You cannot hide and not answer calls from the bank, this only makes the situation worse. It will also be a plus if you actively participated in solving the problem;
• If problems arose for valid reasons, then what corrective measures were taken by you and whether solutions were found when repaying the loan and closing it;

2. Which banks in our country do not check credit history?

You need to immediately understand that there are no banks that do not check your credit history as a borrower. Almost all credit institutions do all this. Now we will talk about banks that are not so critical of this when making a decision on issuing a loan or credit.

The most loyal banks in this regard on this moment These are young banks that pursue a policy of attracting clients. Therefore, you need to first of all pay your attention to them.

Other banks can also meet you halfway, but you just need to be prepared for the fact that the bank will issue you a loan if increased percentages and strict conditions in order to reduce our risk from cooperation with you to a minimum.

To correct a bad impression at the bank, you need, at a minimum, to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the agreement and weigh the pros and cons of this decision. If you still firmly decide not to deviate from your intended goal, then here are a few banks that are likely to cooperate with you.

List of banks that do not check credit history. Read the agreement carefully before receiving a loan!

List of banks and interest

• Home Credit Bank;
• Probusinessbank;
• Get Money bank;
• Binbank;
• Russian Standard Bank;
• TKS Bank;
• Baltinvestbank;
• Avangard Bank;

I would like to separately consider two banks:

• Renaissance Credit Bank. You can get a loan from this bank from 30,000 to 500,000 rubles. and more The interest rate is 19.9%, which is very good if you have a bad credit history. Repayment terms range from 6 to 45 months (it all depends on the economic situation, so find out more from the banks themselves). A loan can be issued based on two documents.
• Sovcombank. Issues loans in cash, and often to persons who have a bad credit history. All applications are considered, as a rule, within 5 minutes online. Maximum amount The loan is 750,000 rubles.

It should be noted that the list of such banks is systematically updated, but you are already familiar with the main characteristics of these banks.

As for VTB24 and Sberbank (About lending in Sberbank secured by real estate), in the event of your long delays in payments (more than 180 days), the likelihood that such banks will approve new loan or the loan is very small.

You also need to understand that the interest at which the bank will give you a loan, in your case, will be very high - up to 20-30% per annum.

Remember that a bank is not the last financial (credit) institution where you can get money. Now there are a lot of different organizations that can provide microloans.

1. Leave applications to several banks, because... Getting to the right one right away can be problematic. Typically, banks create reserves in case borrowers fail to fulfill their obligations, so they may agree to issue funds to several “problem” clients.
2. If the bank has already refused you, send your request again - they may reconsider the decision.
3. Full repayment of previous loans. This condition is mandatory when obtaining a new loan. Ideally, you should not have debts on loans and credits, as well as debts on public services, taxes and alimony.
4. Evidence of your integrity. You can take out a small loan first and pay it off quickly. According to Russian law, you can do this the very next day.
5. Secured loan. Some banks may offer you a loan secured by your real estate or guarantee. This service will cost you much more. The cost of services of a real estate appraiser, insurance, etc. will be taken into account.

Banks struggling to survive

2018 and 2019 have been and will be difficult for many. The crisis did not spare banks either. And if for large banks with millions of clients this period went almost unnoticed, then for their less popular colleagues it was a difficult time. Now some banks hold on to each borrower, so they can be more understanding of your situation. Of course, the interest rates will be high, but you will be able to get the money. Here are some of them.

Tinkoff ALL Airlines Tinkoff. Credit Systems.

The amount that the bank can issue is 700,000 rubles. Interest rate 23.9%, for a period of 3 to 24 months.

Citibank

Amount up to 1 million rubles. Interest rate from 28%, for up to 60 months.

Metrobank

Amount 300,000. Interest rate from 16 to 30%, for a period of 3 to 24 months.

MTS bank

Amount 250,000. Interest rate from 34.9 to 59.9%, for a period of 3 to 6 months. (How to borrow money from MTS on your phone)

It should be borne in mind that each bank has its own idea of ​​bad credit history. For many, and even most banks, one-time delays are not an indication of a serious reason for refusing a loan. Some banks tolerate delays of up to a month or even do not take them into account. A bad credit history can definitely be defined as a borrower’s history in which there is an outstanding loan.

In addition, some banks employ professional psychologists who identify the true reasons for past late payments. In this case, it is very important how you got into such a situation, what the circumstances were. Was it a stupid mistake and a vicissitude of fate, or did it happen only because of your irresponsibility? After working with a client, psychologists determine his reliability in this regard.

For such cases, banks have special kind insurance with a high interest rate of up to 80% per annum.

4. Decision if banks refuse to take out a loan

What to do if banks refuse to issue a loan

In this case, it is possible to use the credit card service. When a credit card is issued, banks usually check the customer’s data rather superficially, since the application is processed within a day. Or they may even turn a blind eye to some of the troubles that arose during the inspection. But it is worth remembering that the interest rate on such a credit card can reach 29% or more. Typically, obtaining such a credit card is due to the customer’s desire to increase his rating among debtors. And if the loan on such a card is repaid on time, then very soon the bank will be able to issue such a client a regular credit card.

You must always remember that there is only one credit bureau in our country (Russia) no! Therefore, one or another bank may not cooperate with the bank account that contains this information about your past.

If your situation has become completely hopeless and you cannot get a loan from any bank, you can always open a deposit account and save money into it every month. This way you will be able to improve your reputation in the institution and in 3-4 months and improve the situation. Perhaps after a few days the bank will agree to the loan.

5. Is it possible to refuse a credit history check?

Yes it is possible! But then you definitely won’t get a loan. According to Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 152 “On Personal Data”, the processing of personal information of any citizen of Russia is possible only with written consent. The banker will ask why you are unwilling to give him this kind of information? And then you will definitely be refused a loan.

Other loan options

You can also get money from a private person, but you can only turn to this option if you have been refused by all of the above organizations. Nowadays, there are many fraudulent individuals and organizations. It is best to contact already proven places, where your relatives or friends have already taken out loans.

It is also important to understand that information about banks (interest rates, terms, etc.) that check or do not check credit history is always changing. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully select a bank before taking a loan.

The Central Bank is trying to shut down illegal cash withdrawal schemes through payment agents and Russian Post. Banks have been given new detailed instructions on how to identify and counter such transactions. This will not block all schemes, but will significantly increase the load on banks. In addition, some of the responsibilities assigned to banks should be carried out by government agencies.

New recommendations on increasing banks' attention to individual customer transactions were published yesterday in the Bulletin of the Bank of Russia. They relate to banks’ control over the activities of payment agent companies (accepting retail payments from the public, including through terminals), as well as companies sending postal transfers from their bank accounts to individuals. It is in these areas, as Rosfinmonitoring representatives previously reported (see Kommersant on March 23), that the main risks of illegal cash withdrawals are concentrated. Now there are instructions to counter these schemes.

The essence of cashing out through payment agents is as follows. When receiving cash from citizens, agents do not credit it to special bank accounts, as required by law, or credit it, but only incompletely. They sell unaccounted cash to those who need it, in exchange receiving from them through shell companies non-cash funds to your current accounts. They also use them to pay service providers, who also, in violation of the law, do not open special accounts for such payments. In its recommendations, the Central Bank points out to banks the desirability of carefully monitoring the use of both special and current accounts of their clients from among payment agents and service providers, and if the required regimes are violated, to deny them settlements. If the violation occurs twice a year, close the accounts.

The Central Bank in the same “Vestnik” devoted separate recommendations to postal operations of banking clients. The essence of the scheme is the use of bank accounts by resident legal entities to accumulate funds received from a significant number of legal entities, which are subsequently transferred to the accounts of Russian Post branches for issuance in cash to individuals at post offices. As stated in the recommendations of the Central Bank, clients conducting such operations, as a rule, have signs of shell companies. To counter this scheme, the Central Bank advises banks to request from legal entities sending a large number of postal transfers to individuals, the agreement concluded by such a company with Russian Post, and the grounds for payments to individuals under this agreement.

“This will allow us to remove from banks at least those who avoid concluding an agreement with Pochta in order not to spend money on paying for its services, which indirectly confirms the client’s malicious intent,” notes the head of the financial monitoring department of a top-50 bank. Banks are also advised to carefully monitor such transactions. corporate clients, send information about them to Rosfinmonitoring (if an unusual nature of transactions is detected). And in case of failure to provide the requested information, follow the same two scenarios as in relation to dubious transactions of paying agents.

This is the first time that the Central Bank has given clear instructions to banks on how to combat the described schemes. And although they are advisory in nature, in practice banks usually try to follow the anti-money laundering letters of the Central Bank, bankers point out. “Moreover, compliance with the new recommendations of the Central Bank will make the facts of such dubious transactions known to Rosfinmonitoring, which, in turn, can conduct an investigation and report this to law enforcement agencies,” adds the head of the financial monitoring service of a top-20 bank.

However, implementing the recommendations will not always be easy. “Banks will not delve into complex multi-step chains; the recommendations proposed by the Central Bank will help overcome only more or less simple schemes,” says Alexey Gusev, a member of the expert council of the Institute of Financial Planning. "Our client has a multidisciplinary payment business: he carries out replenishment electronic wallets, payment for housing and communal services, mobile communications, the Internet, etc.," says one of the bankers. "If the chain is confusing, figure out when, to whom and for what he transferred the funds and whether these are the same funds that he received from the population, especially if he has a lot of bills different banks“, it will not be easy,” he explains. In addition, as Mr. Gusev points out, some recommendations excessively expand the range of anti-money laundering responsibilities of bankers. “According to the law on paying agents, tax authorities, not banks, are required to monitor the correctness of crediting proceeds to special accounts,” he notes.

The Central Bank is waiting for explanations from 57 banks

Since the introduction of amendments to the anti-money laundering legislation in the summer of 2013, which gave banks the right to refuse clients to carry out suspicious transactions, and after two such refusals to completely close clients’ accounts, the volume of suspicious transactions has been reduced by half. This assessment was given on Friday by Deputy Director of Rosfinmonitoring Galina Bobrysheva. “More than 100 thousand messages from banks were recorded about refusals to open accounts for clients, about closing accounts, as well as about refusals to carry out transactions totaling 170 billion rubles,” she noted, adding that clients almost do not appeal such actions of banks. In addition, in November last year, the Central Bank recommended that banks inform Rosfinmonitoring about where their “refusenik” clients are transferring their funds. According to Rosfinmonitoring estimates, over three months, banks sent 15 thousand messages to the service about transactions worth 27 billion rubles. Also, at the end of last year, the Central Bank drew attention to the increasing volumes of “transit” transactions, in which funds from many other residents are regularly credited to the client’s account with their subsequent prompt write-off without paying taxes. According to the head of the Central Bank Main Directorate for the Central federal district(CFD) Olga Polyakova, the Central Bank identified 57 banks in the Central Federal District conducting similar operations. This is almost 12% of the total number credit institutions supervised by the State Central Bank of the Central Federal District. “We are waiting for clarification from these banks on economic sense operations of such clients,” she said on Friday.

This was stated by Deputy Director of the Department of Financial Monitoring and Currency Control of the Bank of Russia Ilya Yasinsky, speaking on March 25, 2016 at the XVIII All-Russian Banking Conference “Russian Banking System - 2016: Practical Issues of Supervision and Regulation.”

34 banks out of 93 that lost their licenses in 2015 had their right to operate revoked due to inadequate controls on money laundering

The most radical method that the Central Bank resorts to is the revocation of licenses. 34 banks out of 93 that lost their licenses in 2015 had their right to operate revoked due to inadequate controls on money laundering.

The second method of working with guilty banks is to introduce radical restrictions on transactions and limits on amounts for the bank. Typically this restriction is imposed for six months. The third method is to exclude the bank from the deposit insurance system (DIS). And the fourth method - the bank proves to the Central Bank that its clients are law-abiding and conduct real business activities.

Banks have the right, even if there are suspicions of “laundering,” to refuse clients to open an account and conduct transactions

The Central Bank is providing additional information to banks about those clients who are found to be carrying out questionable transactions, Yasinsky noted. Now banks have the right, even if there are suspicions of “laundering”, to refuse clients to open an account and conduct transactions, as well as to terminate the service agreement. The two and a half years that have passed since the introduction of this right have led to banks actively using these options. But as a result of such refusals, “migrating” clients arose who wander from bank to bank.

There is a risk that enterprises will re-register in order to hide their type of activity and beneficiaries

Therefore, information about refuseniks should be available to all banks, Yasinsky is sure. True, the Bank of Russia specialist added, there is a risk that enterprises will actively re-register in order to hide their type of activity and beneficiaries. True, financial intelligence promised that it would respond to requests from banks about whether this or that client is in the dubious database, although it has not yet responded, Yasinsky complained.

About the liquidity surplus in banks, relaxations on foreign currency loans, about the reasons why the Central Bank may increase key rate, and about what a “moderately tight” monetary policy is, which was also discussed by the head of the Bank of Russia, Elvira Nabiullina, speaking at a press conference following a meeting of the board of directors.

In addition, the tools that banks can use to request documentation about the sources of funds and property will continue to expand. Credit institutions acquired this right at the end of 2015, and it is largely related to the topic of capital amnesty. But, as Yasinsky reminded, the very topic of capital amnesty should be carried out on such conditions that no one could ever ask where a person or company got their capital in the first place. Otherwise, no amnesty will work.

The amnesty does not apply to funds whose origin is criminal or related to the slave trade, arms and drug trafficking, or the financing of terrorism.

But the FATF's radical position is world organization to combat proceeds of crime is such that the amnesty does not apply to funds whose origin is criminal, or related to the slave trade, arms and drug trafficking, as well as the financing of terrorism. Therefore, Rosfinmonitoring and the Bank of Russia find themselves in a difficult situation and do not yet require banks to inquire in detail from their clients where they got the funds from.

But the capital amnesty has been extended until June 1, 2016. After this date, banks will have the right not to hesitate to request from their clients documents about the origin of their funds, the Central Bank official noted.

According to the law, the bank is obliged to guarantee its clients the secrecy of bank accounts, deposits, loans and any transactions on them.

Issues discussed in the material:

• Is banking secrecy violated when transmitting information to collectors?
• What is the liability for violating bank secrecy?

What is bank secrecy? Federal Law N 395-I “On banks and banking activities”

Bank secrecy is information about the client that the bank does not have the right to transfer to third parties. In this article we will talk in detail about information that constitutes banking secrecy and in what situations they can be disclosed to the competent authorities. In accordance with Article No. 26 of the Federal Law of December 2, 1990 N 395-I “On Banks and banking» Banking secrecy includes information about accounts, deposits and transactions of clients and correspondents of banks and other credit institutions.

The concept of bank secrecy implies information at the disposal of a credit institution and which can be disclosed to third parties only in exceptional cases established by Federal Law No. 395-I “On Banks and Banking Activities”. The task of any bank is to maintain the confidentiality of client information. It should be understood that the leak of information, for example, about the amount of savings on deposits, can cause significant consequences, in particular, criminal prosecution of the deposit owner for the purpose of profit or blackmail. In Russian legislation, there are two main documents that enshrine the concept of bank secrecy and the information that forms it:

• the federal law N 395-I “On banks and banking activities”
• Civil Code of the Russian Federation

If we analyze these regulations, then it can be determined that the information constituting bank secrecy includes the following information:

• Passport data of bank clients (for individuals);
• Bank details organizations (for legal entities);
• Client information about property availability and income level;
• The fact of opening an account (accounts), its number and date of opening, type of account, account currency;
• The fact of the presence of funds in the account (money, unallocated metal accounts), amount, interest on the deposit, term of the agreement;
• The fact of the availability of a loan, terms of repayment and receipt, interest rate on loan;
• Movement Money on accounts and deposits. Such information includes replenishing a deposit, withdrawing money, transferring to your own accounts or the accounts of other persons.

To put it briefly, bank secrecy is any information about banking clients and the transactions they make with their accounts.

Disclosure of bank secrecy about legal entities

Separately, it is worth considering the issue of protecting bank secrecy and the information that constitutes it in relation to legal entities. Legislative norms on bank secrecy have a number of exceptions and, first of all, this is due to the fact that government agencies will not be able to carry out their work of control and financial monitoring to the required extent due to the lack of information about the availability and flow of funds in the accounts of organizations and enterprises, and the amounts As is known, there is orders of magnitude more money there than in the accounts of individuals. For this reason, in certain cases (strictly prescribed in Federal Law No. 395-I and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), a banking organization is obliged to provide information constituting bank secrecy upon request authorized body, and sometimes without a request in an automatic mode, especially for suspicious transactions and cash movements in the accounts of legal entities.

In particular, account statements individual entrepreneurs and legal entities are provided by the bank based on requests from the following government services and structures:

• Courts;
• Tax Inspectorate;
• Rosfinmonitoring;
• Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation;
• Federal Service bailiffs(FSSP);
• Customs Service;
• Pension Fund Russia (PFR);
• Fund social insurance RF (FSS);
• Ministry of Internal Affairs (in the investigation of tax crimes).
• Investigative bodies (four departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, SKP, FSB, FSKN).

In addition to account statements, banks are required to provide tax authorities with information about the opening or closing of deposits Individual entrepreneurs and legal entities are required to inform banks in the event of a change in the details of deposits of organizations or individual entrepreneurs.

Information constituting bank secrecy about legal entities, the Central Bank of Russia has the right to receive from credit institutions by law.

Abolition of bank secrecy, economic news:

There are also non-governmental organizations that have the right to receive data that constitute banking secrecy, for example, the credit history bureau (BKI). But there is one “but” here - information about the committed banking transactions may be transferred to this organization only with the client’s consent (usually this condition is specified in the agreement with the bank).

Disclosure of bank secrecy about individuals

To whom can the bank disclose information constituting bank secrecy about citizens' accounts? The following services and government agencies have the right to request information that constitutes banking secrecy about individuals from a credit institution:

• Bailiffs Service;
• central bank Russian Federation;
• Deposit Insurance Agency;
• Investigative authorities.

No credit institution has the right to refuse to disclose bank secrets about individuals to the above-mentioned public services and structures.

Separately, it is worth noting the case of the death of a bank client; in such a situation, the credit institution needs to inform persons associated with the former client (for example, heirs) and provide them with information that constitutes the citizen’s banking secret. Such information may include information about deposits and current bank accounts of the deceased. In such situations, banks apply the following rules:

• If the client has not drawn up a testamentary disposition during his lifetime, then information about his bank accounts will be transferred to a notary who has opened an inheritance case in connection with the death of this person.
• If the client has made a testamentary disposition regarding his bank savings during his lifetime (drawn up and executed directly at the bank branch without the need to notarize), then the bank secret will be disclosed to the heirs whom the citizen indicated in the decree document.

Currently the Federal tax service has the right to request information from banks about the closure or opening of deposits and accounts of citizens. An important point: request information about an individual that constitutes a banking secret, one or another tax office(IFTS) is entitled only when such a request is agreed upon with a superior tax authority.

As for the credit history bureau, information about the banking transactions of an individual, which constitutes a banking secret, can be transferred to the BKI only with the consent of the citizen. In most cases, during the signing of the contract banking services with the client, it contains a clause stating that the citizen is not opposed to providing the credit history bureau with some information that is a bank secret.

Is banking secrecy violated if information is transferred to a collection agency?

From the current judicial practice it is clear that banking structures have the right to transfer debts on loans of their clients to collection firms. But such actions can only be carried out if a number of conditions are met:

• The debt is transferred by drawing up an agreement on the assignment of the right of claim. In this case, all provisions must be observed Civil Code Russia on the cession agreement.
• If the loan borrower is individual, then the sale of debt to collection companies (that do not have one) is possible only if this is stipulated in loan agreement, signed by the borrower client.
• If the citizen’s debt is recognized by the court and the creditor is issued performance list, it can be transferred to any third party, even if the debtor did not consent to such transfer. (Definition of the Supreme Court No. 89-KG15-5 dated 07/07/2015).

Therefore, if the above conditions are met, in the case of transferring and providing her with information about the debtor, such actions do not constitute a violation of a citizen’s bank secrecy.

However, collection agency employees, like bank employees, are required to comply with measures to protect information that is a bank secret from unauthorized persons.
