We would like to express our deepest appreciation for a long-standing and successful cooperation with VTB Bank (PJSC).

We hereby notify you that settlements in any restricted currency (e.g. currencies other than the Chinese yuan and Russian roubles) might be significantly restricted by foreign correspondent banks, including funds could be blocked on the accounts of correspondent banks for an indefinite period in connection with the introduction of a series of sanctions by the United States. We care about the well-being of our Clients, therefore we strongly recommend to refrain from transferring any payments in restricted currencies without first agreeing on the exact mechanism for making such payments with your manager.

Let us assure you that the management and employees of VTB Shanghai are making every effort to protect Client’s interests and minimize the negative consequences of the above events for your company’s business.
