How long has Sberbank been operating in India?
Sberbank has been operating in India since 2010 with its New Delhi branch. A new branch was opened in Mumbai, the financial capital of India, in 2023.

In which currencies can remittances be made or received?
Sberbank can send and receive money transfers in the national currencies of India and Russia, i.e., rupees and rubles.
