Corridor note
  • In this corridor RSPs send and pay out in RUB. At the point of collection, the money may be converted to the local currency. Remittance recipients may incur an additional cost (not shown here) if and when converting the RUB to the local currency. The 0% in the exchange rate margin does NOT necessarily mean that there is no exchange rate cost, but rather that this cost is not known by the sender at the time of sending.

Remittance recipients may incur an additional cost (not shown here) if and when converting the RUB to the local currency. The 0% in the exchange rate margin does NOT necessarily mean that there is no exchange rate cost, but rather that this cost is not known by the sender at the time of sending.
