Ratings
This Russian payment service can be an excellent solution for merchants and individuals who regularly perform transactions in foreign currencies. It is very beneficial to trade
in four currencies in one account, namely USD, EUR, KZT, and RUB. The
relatively low fees associated with conducting individual transactions and transaction limits, which are even higher with a verified account, are also pleasant. Piastrix serves as a
digital wallet that includes the most famous and most used payment methods, so it can be used almost anywhere. The biggest disadvantage is the website and mobile app
in Russian language and written in Cyrillic, which can pose a significant problem for some users. However, players in online casinos can easily make deposits into their player account and withdrawals with the help of Piastrix.
