Moscow Court Bans Telegram Channels Offering Short-Term Bank Card Rentals

Telegram News 2025-08-25 Create

The Simonovsky Court in Moscow, responding to a prosecution request, has banned three Telegram channels that advertised short-term rentals of bank cards. The court ruling declared the information on these channels illegal for distribution within Russia. 

These channels offered services to rent third-party bank cards on a short-term basis. Access to the channels was open to all internet users without requiring registration or passwords, targeting Russian-speaking audiences. The court highlighted that such services complicate efforts to combat money laundering and terrorism financing. 

Due to these risks, the court decided to block the channels, which are currently inaccessible to users. This move reflects ongoing measures by Russian authorities to restrict online activities that may facilitate financial crimes.
