Excellent bank for contactless currency exchange! Manager Lev is very involved in the work, answered all questions and made the process as calm as possible in terms of security The only, in my observation, nuance is dealing with ATMs We recommend immediately providing a list of ATMs where you can cash out currency (so you can look at the list, approach the ATM and clarify with the manager the possibility of working with it) But that's more a question for updating Google Maps, since not all ATMs that are located around the city are shown on the maps
