After 2022, standard SWIFT transfers from Russia to France are closed for most banks. ATM24 works through alternative EUR deposit channels: verifies the recipient bank before payment and fixes the rate in the request.
The route, the receiving bank and the payout amount are agreed before payment.
France is a popular destination for money transfers: Paris, Lyon and the Côte d'Azur are home to a significant Russian-speaking diaspora, as well as students at French universities and entrepreneurs with European business connections. Major French banks, including BNP Paribas and Société Générale, have strengthened AML/KYC checks on transfers related to Russia since 2022, so additional documents may be requested for certain transactions. ATM24 works through available authorized routes and selects a transfer method based on the recipient bank and compliance requirements. EUR transfers to France are carried out through available SWIFT routes with additional AML checks; deposit takes several business days after processing the request, with the exact timeframe depending on the route and recipient bank. Recipients are advised to check with their bank in advance about requirements for incoming international transfers to prepare necessary documents and reduce the risk of transaction delays.
Lyf Pay and Paylib are French payment services for domestic transactions, and Nickel is an accessible financial service with a wide network of service points in France. To deposit to a bank account, a French IBAN starting with FR and containing 27 characters is required, as well as the BIC/SWIFT code of the recipient bank. Cash euros through ATM24 are available in major French cities through our partner network; the specific pickup location is confirmed when placing the request.

France's payment ecosystem: main payment systems and services. Wero — European instant transfer service that replaced Paylib in France in 2025; allows sending and receiving money by phone number or email directly between bank accounts. Paylib — formerly a popular French payment service, which was replaced by Wero; the name can be kept in text as an SEO keyword, but no longer as an active wallet. Lyf Pay — formerly a French mobile and QR payment service; the service ceased operations in 2026, so it should only be mentioned in a historical context. Nickel — French financial service with a bank account, card and a wide network of over 8,600 Nickel points across France. Direct SEPA transfer from a Russian bank account to France is not available; EUR transfers from Russia are carried out through available international routes, including SWIFT, and additional AML checks may increase deposit time to 5–10 business days. Financial regulation is carried out by Banque de France and ACPR, which supervises banks and the insurance sector. Banks in France typically operate Monday–Friday from around 9:00 to 17:00; most branches are closed on Saturdays. When transferring from Russia, recipients are advised to check with their bank in advance about requirements for incoming international payments.
