How to send money from Sweden to Russia

Sending money from Sweden to Russia doesn’t have a huge amount of options. Because of this, we suggest sending money via:

Send cash to Russia from Sweden

Agents are physical stores where you hand in SEK as cash and the receiver picks it up from the store in Russia.

Western Union Agent

We suggest using Western Union agent as it's reputable, fast, and is partnered with multiple banks in Sweden.

The fees and rates will vary from day to day and based on your transfer amount, but it's still much cheaper than using your bank directly.

To get started, find the closest WU agent using the store locator, fill in the forms at the counter, pay for your transfer and let the recipient know.

Most transfers will be available for collection the same day, but sometimes can take up to a few days.
