These two moves come as part of the policy seeking to make Russia's ruble fully convertible and encourage foreign investment in the Russian economy.
"Several banks have already set themselves the task to provide such an opportunity for any client in any corner of the world," Alexei Kudrin told a briefing on the sidelines of a G8 summit held outside St. Petersburg this weekend.
Kudrin added that the government had abolished all restrictions on capital flow on July 1. He said the ruble would only be really convertible later and the sale of energy products was designed to help the process.
"This will require ruble circulation and ruble sale on world markets," Kudrin said. "It means that our banks will have to supply rubles to all clients and open correspondent accounts for them in Russian banks."
The minister said the process had already started and it required higher standards from the Russian banking system.
