Two-step route via a dollar stablecoin (USDT)

Buy USDT for RUB in one service, send it (fees are cents), and sell it for USD in another. Two steps, but often cheaper than a bank wire, and it works for corridors nobody serves directly.

How it works

  1. Pick a service above and open it with our link (some give a bonus on the first transfer).
  2. Register and pass a quick identity check — usually a passport photo, a few minutes.
  3. Pay with a card or bank transfer in Russia; the recipient in United States gets money to a card, account or wallet.

FAQ

What is the cheapest way to send money from Russia to United States?

Compare the amount received, not the advertised fee: a "0% fee" service can hide 3% in the exchange rate. The list above already accounts for both.

How long does a transfer from Russia to United States take?

Card-to-card and stablecoin transfers usually arrive within minutes; bank payouts can take up to 1–3 business days.

What is the RUB to USD exchange rate today?

The mid-market rate is 1 RUB = 0.0123765 USD. Services add their own markup; we show how much of it you lose.

Are these services legal and safe?

All listed services are public companies with their own licences and terms. Check the recipient's country rules and your bank's limits before a large transfer.
