Hey, I used to transfer my money in crypto wallet and then exchange it for cash in Moscow. My friends in Russia suggested me Exnode for choosing an exchanger. I had no problem with that, everything was clear. I hope that I will help somebody in here. If you have any questions I can share my experience of this way. ---

Volet com is currently having “technical issues”. The feature “withdraw to russian card” has disappeared. The recipient won’t get their funds into their hands. So don’t bother. ---

Sad to hear, what about profee, does it still work? ---

@phoebe can you try to confirm that volet no longer works? ---

Update, I found someone in Russia who tried Volet, it only works with crypto. Seems we are losing more and more options for sending money ☹ ---

@FUM Yes indeed, I have been sending money to my Russian gf for a while already with Volet like 10 times and it was no problem. However, now it’s not possible anymore to withdraw to Russian cards. Any idea on when this will be solved or what to do now? ---

I have managed to send money through swapcoin.cc with a volet account. But you have to at least send 190 Euros as a minimum. ---

@jinx that kinda defeats the purpose, might as well just go on bestchange through any exchange or bybit then ---

@phoebe could I ask what method you are using now to send from UK? It seems profee no longer available ---

I have replied on your other thread, Profee still available to a non sanctioned bank, you can send to a bank account or card. Raffaisen is the easiest and quickest but Crypto rates better. ---

Thanks for this too Phoebe. I shall keep Profee as a back-up. Although my friend would need to open an account with a non-sanctioned bank first. ---

profee says "The issue with your card rejection is due to restrictions set by your card issuer and not our service."almost same thing were in Decemeber when tried to transfer money from Austria to Russia, is that temporary thing\*? ---

@phoebe How much better are rates with crypto compared to profee? ---

Rates via crypto are near enough current Mastercard rates, you will lose between 5 and 10 percent due to Profee rates being not as good. ---
