Sending money to russian accounts

[kkein]

Apparently all banks reject swift transfers to russian accounts, even if on those two exempted‌ banks (sber, gazprom).
I have read they are setting up alternate systems, like one chinese‍ one, and another one called mir?
So i wonder: has any swift (or sepa) to⁠ these other systems gateway already popped up?
Or how those of you who send money⁤ to russia do it?

 

[burden]

does it really comes to you as an surprise?

Try with bitcoin or other cryptocurrency,‌ that will work.

 

[kkein]

Is there a service that makes this‍ transparent? Or what are crypto to rub institutions in russia?

I read russia started to⁠ use UnionPay now. Maybe that way?

 

[RealDude]

Better send over bananas and coffee, that will be the new exchange currency over there‌ 😉

 

[Marc Rich]

From where to where do you⁣ want to send and what figures?

 

[JamesDonkey]

I guess you could send it to a neural country first, and from there -‌ to Russia. Kazakhstan, Armenia, Turkey, for instance.

 

[Martin Everson]

With carrier pigeon.

I read that Russia started to distribute UnionPay cards now. Are there ways to refill‌ those cards?

from EU and low/mid 4 figures

there is way to send moeny to russia but not with such small figures

 

[Marc Rich]

I am currently helping‌ client's sending money out of Russia as we have 16 non-res accounts there, but it's‍ usually 7 figures. Funnily enough, clients are referrals coming from heads of Russian private banking⁠ ange¤%&

 

[kkein]

In theory if someone has an account in russia with rubles, and an account outside‌ in USD/EUR, he/she could do brokerage until rubles end of course.
I'd be willing to‍ pay advantageous, pre conflict exchange rate

[ih8socialism]

Hawala banking, but I doubt its operating in Russia‍ right now

 

[csp dubai]

write me pm i think⁠ i can help you

 

[JamesDonkey]

Are they recurring payments?‌ For some work, every month or so? If so, send me a PM - I‍ know a service, which apparently works.

 

[kkein]

I'm not plus member 😕
It would be just one off for now, to someone in⁤ need

 

[Marie Manila]

Do you want to send to a corporate or a private account in Russia?

I think Paysera still sends money to Russian private accounts.
See announcement here:

[kkein]

Trying it (never used that app), i see it has two⁠ transfer options: paysera transfer and bank transfer. I suppose i should be using the second,⁤ since i read russian citizens got their accounts closed.
I wonder if anybody has tried?⁣ ca#"!

 

[zzzzzz]

Envelope, letter, cash, mail it.

So paysera not working
