We review requirements in RUB, EUR, USD and CNY. An illustrative example shows what to clarify before discussing conversion or a settlement arrangement.
This example shows the questions, not an approved payment route or an exchange rate. Availability, conversion, fees and timing depend on countries, parties, documents and the financial institution’s decision. We consider only permissible options subject to required checks.

- Starting point
- An invoice or brief, countries and party details.
- Stage outcome
- A transaction overview and initial questions.
A simplified interaction model, not a banking route or live tracking. Participants, feasibility and available confirmations depend on the specific transaction.
Fees and scope of work
A standalone payment or part of a purchase: the scope of support depends on your requirement.
Agree the scope and fees
Fees depend on the scope of work and transaction details. Our role, responsibilities, remuneration and working arrangements are recorded in the agreement.
How coordination works ↗Decisions made by other participants
Financial institutions review the operation independently and decide whether to execute it. Qualified specialists provide legal or tax opinions where needed.
Terms and limitations ↗Known details. Open questions. Next steps.
Separate known information from what still needs checking. Understand which questions stand in the way and who needs to resolve them.
An initial review is not payment approval or a guarantee of execution timing.

Before you contact us
Can we fund a payment in rubles if the invoice uses another currency?
You can bring this requirement to us for review. Share the invoice currency and amount, the available funding currency and beneficiary details. Feasibility, conversion needs and terms are confirmed for the specific transaction.
How are exchange rates and fees agreed?
Where conversion is needed, the applicable rate, when it is fixed and participants’ fees are clarified before the operation is agreed. Our support fee is discussed separately. This website does not quote a public exchange rate or a universal tariff.
Do we need a finished contract?
You can start with a description or a counterparty's offer. Documents supporting the transaction will be needed for review; we will clarify the requirements for your situation.
Can we ask about paying for a service?
Yes. Not every payment involves cargo. Tell us which service you are paying for, who provides it and which documents are available.
What if the bank has requested more information?
Share its request together with the transaction documents. We can compare the requirements with the information available and help prepare what is missing.
What if the usual payment option is unavailable?
We first clarify why: currency, parties, geography, documents or mandatory restrictions. Then we ask whether another permissible arrangement is available to the transaction participants. We do not promise conversion or execution before they confirm it.
Can we get fees and timing in advance?
We need the countries, currency, amount, purpose and party details to assess the work. Support terms are agreed after review; banking execution timelines depend on the financial institutions.
Who do you need to pay, and for what?
Share the amount, currency and the payer's and beneficiary's countries. Attach the invoice and any request from a financial institution.
