CB Raschetny Dom LLC implemented a high-risk lending policy connected with the placement of funds in low-quality assets. As a result of the fulfillment of the supervisor's requirements to make an adequate assessment of the risks assumed and a reliable recognition of the bank's assets value there were grounds for implementing measures to prevent the bank's insolvency (bankruptcy).

Moreover, CB Raschetny Dom LLC failed to comply with the requirements of law and Bank of Russia regulations on anti-money laundering and combatting the financing of terrorism with regard to submitting information to the authorised body on time and in full. The credit institution was also involved in suspicious transit operations. The management and owners of the bank failed to take effective measures to bring the situation back to normal.

By its Order No. OD-677, dated 26 February 2016, the Bank of Russia has appointed a provisional administration to CB Raschetny Dom LLC for the period until the appointment of a receiver pursuant to the Federal Law 'On Insolvency (Bankruptcy)' or a liquidator under Article 23.1 of the Federal Law 'On Banks and Banking Activities'. In compliance with federal laws the powers of the credit institution's executive bodies have been suspended.
