How to transfer money from Europe to Russia in 2025?

Today, international money transfers are going through a difficult period, and ordinary citizens are facing difficulties sending funds abroad. Restrictive sanctions are steadily reducing the effectiveness of standard banking channels, forcing users to turn to other payment options.
 
One solution is to use the Profee international transfer system. 
This system allows users to send small amounts in a number of countries, but it is important to remember that its availability depends on the specific country of both the sender and the recipient. Some European countries have imposed restrictions on Russian financial institutions, so it is recommended to check the current terms before using the service.    

The latest package of anti-Russian measures by the European Union expanded the list of banks (list) barred from using correspondent accounts at European credit institutions. This led to a sharp reduction in the number of banks that can freely conduct transactions through the familiar SWIFT system.

Even if a bank has formally avoided being directly sanctioned, the possibility of payment processing problems due to initiatives by national central banks adopting additional security measures (list) cannot be ruled out. 
 
The optimal approach appears to be opening an account with a stable bank that has not yet been affected by international sanctions. Nevertheless, it is necessary to keep track of the situation and periodically check the status of your financial institution, as circumstances are changing rapidly and remain unstable.    

To ensure that a small money transfer is sent successfully, it is recommended to choose trusted services and consult with your bank in advance about possible restrictions (list).
