Protective Filters of Banking Systems
The bank's security service continuously monitors the geolocation of requests: if a user moves from Moscow to the Netherlands within a minute, the algorithm instantly triggers a protective session block. This is a standard measure to prevent theft, but it completely cuts off legitimate clients who have encryption enabled.
How to Use Banking Apps Without Disruptions
- enable split tunneling in your VPN app settings and add banking clients to the exclusion list
- switch to a server with a Russian location if you need to encrypt your connection on public Wi-Fi
- temporarily disable the connection before transferring funds or checking your card balance
