Hello there 👋  
I have a question. I’m planning on going to Russia at the beginning of October. I will have certain amount of money, but will be there a possibility to transfer money from my Polish account to Russian credit card while being in Russia? Will i have to use vpn? Can i do that with profee?

@Krasiu If you have access to a Russian Credit/ Debit card the crypto transfer is the cheapest. Profee is still available but very expensive to transfer. Always use a VPN for your own safety.

No commission but rate is usually 7% worse than market.

@phoebe 7% worse meaning I’d lose 7%? Like for example the ruble is 100 to the dollar if I sent 1000$ dollars/euros Id recieve of 930 in rubles? Trying to understand, does volet have better rates?
