Crisis in Ukraine: New sanction’s list for SWIFT exclusions

The EU’s sanctions package includes the exclusion of several Russian and Belarusian banks from the SWIFT banking messaging platform.

This exclusion concerns 6 major Russian banks (Council Decision of 01/03/2022) and 3 Belarusian banks (Council Decision of 09/03/2022).  However, these sanctions are not included as such in the EU list.

We have decided to reference these sanctions in our screening tools via a specific list.  This list is called SWIFT and has been included in our catalogue since 30/03/2022.

It currently includes the following banking institutions:

Russia

• Bank Otkritie
• Novikombank
• Promsvyazbank Bank
• Rossiya Sovcombank
• VNESHECONOMBANK (VEB)
• VTB BANK

Belarus
