Information on actions of liquidator of Registered Payment Institution EPS, LLC (14.03.2024)

The Bank of Russia submitted information on the actions of the liquidator of Registered Payment Institution EPS, LLC (hereinafter referred to as the Company), constituting a criminal offence, to the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation for consideration and appropriate procedural decision-making.

The Company's banking licence was cancelled by the Bank of Russia on 9 April 2021. Aleksandr Mikhailovich Vinitskovsky was appointed as a liquidator of the Company. By its decision, dated 2 November 2023, the Court of Arbitration of the City of Moscow recognised the Company as insolvent (bankrupt) and initiated bankruptcy proceedings against it.

The Bank of Russia found out that the liquidator carried out transactions showing a withdrawal of the Company's assets, while failing to meet obligations to third parties.

In addition, the liquidator obstructed the work of the official receiver, evading the handover of a significant part of the Company’s documents, which complicates the assessment of the Company’s assets by the official receiver and other bankruptcy proceedings.
