Sent 50,000 Russian Rubles to Belarus — Only 43,600 Arrived

A resident of Belarus transferred money from Russia's Sberbank to Belarusian Sber Bank. The bank explained that since August 13, transfers go through a double conversion: RUB → BYN → RUB.

There is no separate commission — losses occur due to exchange rate differences. The bank recommends receiving such transfers in BYN on a card.
