The bill is in rubles. The parent cannot send them.
A signed return without payment is a debt. A frozen client-bank with the only digital signature is a stop on every other mandate. Parent treasury cannot “just send something” — correspondent banks will not take the wire, and U.S. sanctions counsel will not bless a workaround.
- USD wires into Russia delayed, returned, or refused
- Bank off-boarding of “unfriendly” ownership
- Dead token / dead director — nobody can log in
- Tax charged, unpaid, then penalties — liquidation blocked
The funding gap
We settle in Russia. You reimburse us in New York.
Moving money into the Russian banking system is no longer a treasury task. It is a sanctions, correspondent-bank, and calendar problem — and the FTS does not wait. Where the subsidiary’s own ruble balance is gone, the affiliated company pays the statutory amount from in-country funds. You reimburse Colibry LLC in U.S. dollars, to a U.S. bank, on an English invoice. The parent never originates a wire to Russia.
What it is
Two paths, one perimeter. If the entity still holds rubles, we pay tax and fees from that account, under the nominee director, and log every payment in English. If it does not — the usual file since 2022 — Colibry advances the ruble amount from the affiliated company’s own in-country balance. You repay Colibry LLC in USD, in the United States. That is a New York reimbursement of a statutory disbursement, not a parent transfer into Russia.
Since 2022 many banks have exited foreign-owned clients, demanded new KYC, or frozen remote access. A dormant LLC with an unreachable director cannot even open a ticket. We restore a working channel where one still exists — or we document that the bank is gone and fund the statutory calendar ourselves.
This is not a payments product into Russia, not a correspondent-banking facility, and not a way to settle commercial trade. It is how a Russian entity — operating or quiet — pays tax, fees, and other statutory amounts, while the parent’s dollars never leave the U.S. financial system.
What is in scope — and what is not
We do
- Inventory of accounts, signers, tokens, and remaining balances
- Restoration of client-bank access under the nominee director, where a relationship still exists
- Tax, fee, leftover payroll, and other statutory payments from the entity’s own rubles, itemized in English
- Advance of those same statutory amounts from the affiliate’s in-country balance when the entity cannot be funded from the parent
- USD reimbursement to Colibry LLC on a U.S. bank account, against an English invoice
- KYC packs the bank still demands (extract, director, UBO)
- Account closure as part of a liquidation mandate
- A written note when no bank will hold the entity — and how the calendar is still paid
We do not
- Originating USD or other hard currency from the parent to Russia
- A general funding facility, working-capital line, or trade settlement
- Opening accounts for new commercial activity
- Crypto, informal, or third-country workarounds
- Payments that would be prohibited under OFAC or export controls
How the work runs
-
01
Map
Which bank, which token, who last signed, what balance — and which statutory amounts fall next.
-
02
Restore or replace
Director change plus bank KYC, or a documented dead-end. If the account is gone, we switch to an advance from the affiliate.
-
03
Pay
Tax calendar drives the payments. Entity rubles first; our in-country balance if not. Every line in English. You reimburse Colibry LLC in USD.
-
04
Close
When liquidation reaches the gate, the account is wound down on paper.
Calendar
| When | What |
|---|---|
| Weeks 1–4 | Access restoration, or a written switch to affiliate-funded payments |
| Each tax date | Ruble payment; English copy; USD reimbursement invoice to Colibry LLC |
| On liquidation | Zero, close, certificate |
What we need to start
Missing items are a workstream, not a reason to wait. A signed note that a year of filings does not exist is more useful than another month of silence.
- Bank name, BIK, account number if known
- Last statements or a screenshot of the client-bank
- Token / carrier location, if anyone still has it
- Director passport pack for KYC
- A note on whether any ruble balance still sits in the entity
Reporting
Monthly English payment log: what was paid, from whose ruble balance, and the matching USD reimbursement. Immediate notice if the bank freezes or off-boards.
Who it is for
Parents that cannot wire to Moscow and still have a Russian tax and statutory calendar — whether the subsidiary operates or sits quiet.
We will not take
- A request to move money from the U.S. into Russia
- A new operating account for trade
- A general working-capital facility
Fees and start
Fixed-scope engagements with fees agreed in advance. Pricing is set after an initial consultation at no charge. Stabilization: 2–4 weeks if a bank relationship still exists. Affiliate-funded payments can start sooner, once screening and the engagement letter are in place. See how the New York contract works and the week-one document pack.
