Those using the only transfer services left which currently are Profee or Send Now will have notice a huge reduction in the rate. Previously Profee were 7% under the market rate and Send Now were 10%, these two companies know its the only choice for many and have disgracefully reduced rates in the last two weeks. Profee now squeezing you for 13% and Send Now nearer 20%. Its time to end use of these two. I now fully use the @wallet on Telegram which not only offers many options but top top exchange rates for USDT to RUB, its even safer than using the two services above and you can easily transfer from your own card to any Russian Bank Account. Thanks for all the members who highlighted this option, itz truly the best and safest way. ---

However using Crypto via Kraken and Bybit is not only really safe but currently offers the best rate with a stablecoin such as USDT. The final sell in the P2P market is bomb proof as you only send the crypto once you have received the RUB in your Russian account of choice.
