Roskachestvo intends to conduct test purchases of banking products

The head of Roskachestvo (Russian Quality System) Maxim Protasov sent letters to the Central Bank and the Rossiya bank association, in which he pointed out the need to expand the authority of the organization so that it could evaluate and compare financial products.

According to Vedomosti, the letters emphasize that the online aggregators banki.ru and sravni.ru, which make up the rankings of products of financial companies, are, in contrast to Roskachestvo, exclusively commercial.

The Bank of Russia indicated that the department is already cooperating with the regulator, but so far cooperation is limited to the area of increasing financial literacy. As follows from the letter to the Bank of Russia, Roskachestvo is not going to be limited to this. The organization proposes, together with the regulator, to conduct research on financial products, evaluate them and draw up rankings, inform the public about financial products both substantively and in comparison with the offers of different companies.

To make the initiative possible, Roskachestvo is planning to create a working group, which will include representatives of Roskachestvo, the banking association and the largest banks.

Earlier in Roskachestvo they told what to do if a person came across a counterfeit bill.
