> Banks in Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan have sharply increased fees for nonresidents depositing cash Russian rubles into their accounts, RBC reports. Some fees have risen from 2–5% at the start of summer to 10–15%, while Belarus’s Neo Bank Asia charges a flat 20%. At least 10 banks tightened their terms since early August amid increased cash inflows from Russia.
