Sending money to Russia has become increasingly complicated. Many traditional payment services no longer work, bank transfers are often restricted, and the methods available today may change at any time. As a result, it’s not always clear which options are actually reliable right now.
SendNOW is one of the few services that currently allows you to send money to Russia in a simple and reliable way, even with all the existing restrictions. Operated by SENDNOW s.r.o., a company registered in the Czech Republic, this service is designed for people who want to transfer money without dealing with cryptocurrencies or complicated workarounds. Everything is done online through their website, and the process is straightforward, even if you have never sent money to Russia before.
This is not the cheapest option available, but it avoids the complexity of using cryptocurrencies or relying on intermediaries, which is why I have personally used it.
With SendNOW, you can send money to Russia from the EU, the USA, the UK, and many other countries worldwide, using a foreign bank card or a bank account in euros or dollars. The recipient in Russia does not need to open a SendNOW account and receives the funds directly in rubles on a Russian MIR card. This makes SendNOW a practical solution for supporting family members, paying for services, or covering everyday expenses in Russia.
SendNOW also allows people in Russia to send money from Russia to other foreign countries and to receive money from abroad through transfer requests. A person in Russia can generate a secure payment link and share it with the sender, without having to disclose banking details. Based on my personal experience, this flexibility—sending money to Russia, sending money from Russia abroad, and requesting transfers—makes SendNOW one of the most practical options currently available for international money transfers involving Russia.
