Details
After 2022, most G7 banks suspended RUB clearing. RUB payments now route via Bank of Russia's SPFS or third-country correspondents.
Typical processing time: Highly variable — 2-7 business days due to limited correspondent capacity.
On a SWIFT MT103, the RUB amount appears in field 32A together with the value date. The currency code is part of the ISO 4217 standard, so "RUB" means the same thing in every bank in the world.
If your RUB payment is missing or stuck, the most common reasons are correspondent-bank cut-off times, sanctions screening on the beneficiary or originator, or a missing field on the MT103 (purpose-of-payment, beneficiary address). Ohmyfin shows you exactly where the payment is in the chain.
