The Central African CFA franc serves six countries and is hard pegged to the euro. A direct ruble exchange for it is almost unheard of at a bank, so the route is agreed in advance.

The Russian ruble (RUB) is issued by the Bank of Russia and has floated freely since 2014. A request at ATM24 goes through the site form or straight to a manager.

Who this direction is for

Specialists on mining and infrastructure projects in Cameroon, Gabon and Congo need it, along with businesses with counterparties in the region.
