Short version - everything's OK. Had doubts, didn't have many options, took the risk. The money was transferred, the rate is fine. I recommend: - Allow about 40 minutes for the operation so your phone doesn't die. - Banks often require SMS confirmation for transfers of certain amounts, so have your Russian card handy. Sometimes they can ban you for suspicious actions. - If you can, make sure short SMS messages arrive to your number abroad. Good luck to everyone

Excellent exchanger and the commission is small, manager Ekaterina explained everything in detail and told me how and what was done; the delivery was by courier, he arrived in 15 minutes, and in 5 minutes I had the money in my hands. I recommend their service to everyone!
