Reviews of USD to MWK exchange

Real stories from real people

About exchanging currency from SPB Tinkoff (T-bank) to dirham cash. Since I am in Dubai (today 16.06.2025) I was honestly afraid to exchange. I found someone’s article and there was a link to “trusted exchangers.” I moved to WhatsApp, we chatted. I exchanged 500 through the ATM. Everything was successful, but I still worried terribly. I communicated with manager Ekaterina. When I transferred the money, she wrote to me "waiting for confirmation from the recipient" and so for each stage. No commissions. You just enter 6 digits at the ATM and get the cash. It was my first time and only once so far, everything went well! I even asked AI about the company’s reliability))) AI replied that it’s reliable, provided facts from the web and reviews. That’s why I actually decided to send the money. Very glad that everything went well, thanks to whoever came up with this and to Ekaterina))
