Ohmyfin يجيب: Can I send a SWIFT payment from Russia to Europe in 2026?

إجابة Ohmyfin أدناه (باللغة الإنجليزية).

Most large Russian banks have been disconnected from SWIFT since 2022. A handful of non-sanctioned banks remain on SWIFT but face heavy compliance screening at every correspondent — even legitimate personal and trade payments routinely sit in compliance review for 1-4 weeks. Track the UETR on Ohmyfin to see where the payment is held.

The EU 6th and 8th sanctions packages disconnected Sberbank, VTB, VEB, Otkritie, Promsvyazbank, Rossiya Bank, Novikombank, Sovcombank and others from SWIFT. Tinkoff, Raiffeisenbank Russia, Unicredit Russia and a few smaller banks remain connected.

Even where SWIFT connectivity exists, OFAC, EU and UK sanctions create heavy compliance friction. Every intermediary bank in the chain re-screens — and most US dollar correspondents (JPMorgan, BNY Mellon, Citi) have severely restricted or stopped accepting RUB-related or Russia-origin payments outright.

Practical workarounds people use today: payments via UAE / Turkey / Kazakhstan / Armenia / Georgia banks (with extra steps and longer processing), or non-SWIFT systems like Russia's SPFS or China's CIPS for CNY settlements.
