Looking for a reliable way to move savings from my Russian account to a US account. Has anyone done this recently?
I've heard about issues with SWIFT transfers being blocked. Are there alternative services (Wise, Remitly, others) that still work? What are the fees like?
Any recent experiences would be very helpful — thank you in advance!

I've had good results using Wise (formerly TransferWise) for moving money out of Europe. For Russia specifically it's more complicated since early 2022. I ended up routing through a Georgian bank account — takes a few extra steps but works reliably. DM me if you want details.

Remitly was working for me until about 6 months ago. Now I'm using a combination of crypto (USDT) converted back to USD on the US side. Not ideal but it's what works right now. Check r/russians — they have a very current thread on this.
