Social activists proposed to allow to use Internet banking with zero balance

to make access to Internet banking is free, even at zero on the subscriber’s bill proposed by the community members. Activists of the Russian public initiative think that ISPs and mobile operators should be obliged to give the subscriber an opportunity in any situation to make payments on accounts and Bank cards.

the vote on the initiative now goes to the portal ROI. The idea rests in the current difficult realities – a lot of people sitting at home on isolation, forced when making purchases to use “plasticity”. Payment receipts for utilities many now also moved into the online space. However, if the subscriber’s account is zero, the operator blocks his Internet access. As a result, the poor fellow is deprived of the possibility to pay for groceries delivered to the house, and for heat with the light, and for the same Internet. To solve the problem of public men hope simply: in their opinion, the providers should be obliged to include banking sites and mobile banking apps a list of free resources.

Says the head of special projects of the Moscow provider company Dmitry Arkhipov: “the Authors of this idea have not been taught that full access is not confined to the site address and includes reference to many other resources – libraries, servers that store video and audio content of various counters and auxiliary services. That is, to such a scheme to work, the operator needed a massive amount of data, not just an address, for example, the Bank. In the experiment, some Federal providers have already started a pilot attempts to provide free access to socially significant sites, and they have already faced this problem. In addition, much depends on the policy of the provider company, how long for a subscriber with a negative balance remains in the physical infrastructure – the data port, cable and so on. In the contract between the operator and the subscriber may be prescribed deadline, after which with a negative balance relationship is terminated”.
