Sberbank of Russia’s Ural branch keeps raising the number of Yekaterinburg-based outlets where one can now buy or sell not only the traditional U.S. dollars and Euros but also the UK pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, Swiss francs, Czech korunas, Ukrainian hryvnias, Chinese Renminbi yuans, and Japanese yens.


So far, these currencies are dealt with in eight of Sberbank’s Yekaterinburg offices at 11 Moskovskaya St., 1 Vainer St., 25 Verkh-Isetskiy Boulevard, 62 Tatischev St., 10 Belorechenskaya St., 4 Yasnaya St., 84 Repin St., and Mega Trade Center at 87 Metallurgi St. The latter can be found in the food court area next to the skating rink and is available from 10 AM to 10 PM daily. Mega Trade Center is also fitted with Sberbank’s ATM that lets you both withdraw cash and top up your card account as well as buy foreign currency using the cash you have on you. Besides, the ‘quick exchange’ service is available for U.S. dollars and Euros in Sberbank’s office at 11 Moskovskaya St.
