UK varies Solid Bank entry while keeping Russia sanctions
The UK varied JSC Solid Bank’s designation under its Russia regime on Sept. 10 while keeping four existing sanctions in force, a change with potential implications for screening and list maintenance.
LONDON, September 10, 2026 — The UK updated JSC Solid Bank’s sanctions entry while retaining an asset freeze, trust services restrictions, director disqualification and a prohibition on correspondent banking and sterling clearing.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office made the variation under the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. Solid Bank has been designated since Oct. 15, 2025, and the action does not remove it from the UK Sanctions List or change the sanctions identified as applying to it.
The UK said it has reasonable grounds to suspect the bank obtains a benefit from or supports the Russian government by operating in Russia’s strategically significant financial services sector.
The current entry includes English and Russian-language name forms, a Vladivostok address, contact details and several business identifiers. Those include Russian tax identification number 4101011782, registration number 1024100000121, Legal Entity Identifier 253400EH37SSJEEJFB05 and Russian license number 1329.
The notice marks deleted and added information through visual formatting that is not preserved in the extracted text. As a result, the precise names, identifiers or other data changed in the variation cannot be determined from the available evidence. The revised entry may nevertheless affect sanctions-screening matches and internal list maintenance because Solid Bank remains subject to the measures.
