From 30 October 2025, deposit insurance for irrevocable rouble deposits of three years or longer is doubled, from RUB 1.4 million to RUB 2.8 million.

From 30 October 2025, deposit insurance cover for irrevocable deposits is increased from RUB 1.4 million to RUB 2.8 million.

An irrevocable deposit is a special form of deposit under which funds are fully locked for a fixed term (from three years) and cannot be withdrawn early.

The higher limit applies only to irrevocable rouble certificates with a term of three years or longer. Funds cannot be withdrawn before maturity, but the certificate can be assigned to another person.

Issuance and assignment are available offline only, through a bank branch; an online channel is not yet available.

Deposit insurance covers individuals as well as legal entities qualifying as micro-, small or medium-sized enterprises. Other companies are outside the deposit insurance system.
