Russia\'s largest bank Sber to support cross-border crypto payments with 0.3 percent fee
Russia\'s largest bank Sber has begun processing cryptocurrency payments for companies engaged in overseas trade. It said crypto wallet-to-wallet transfers can be completed in minutes rather than days and the average transaction cost is about 0.3 percent, with required banking and foreign-exchange control documents generated automatically. The move comes as Russia implements its digital currency law, which legalises crypto trading but keeps a domestic payment ban while allowing cross-border settlement.
