I’m in Dubai for the first time and ran out of cash, looked through several exchange options and decided the best was with a courier. I left a request on atm24.pro, they replied quickly and offered a good exchange, explained everything in detail and calculated the exchange amount, proposed a meeting time. What was very pleasing: the courier delivered cash right to my hotel, the meeting took 10 minutes and everything went great. Many thanks to operator Emil and the super courier Dmitry for their sincere approach to work and treatment of the client. I will turn to you and recommend you 🤝

I used this service to transfer money to Thailand, manager Ekaterina provided help, I’m satisfied with the service, I recommend using it; it’s better to have a Thai bank account for a more favorable rate, but in any case this is more profitable than using a Visa or Mastercard bank card.
