The innovative service allows businesses and individuals to pay invoices using digital assets, with recipients receiving a regular bank transfer. Since its launch in 2024, A7 has rapidly become one of the leading players in the international settlements market, serving approximately 15,000 companies and processing over 10 trillion roubles in 2025 alone.

The company's new venture, A7 International, was developed in response to foreign entrepreneurs requesting a similar service. It is a remote, compliant solution tailored to meet the needs of businesses in various countries where cryptocurrency circulation is permitted. Founder and Chairman of Bank PSB Petr Fradkov emphasized the importance of this new offering, stating that it caters to the market demand for quick, paperless, and fee-free international money transfers accessible through smartphones.

The A7 International system streamlines the payment process by using AI to analyze the sender and beneficiary, jurisdictions, and potential risks. Based on this analysis, the system determines the optimal payment route based on cost, speed, reliability, and applicable restrictions. The entire process, which typically takes one business day, is completed remotely with clients receiving a SWIFT message or other confirmation documents upon completion. A7 International also provides closing documents for currency and customs control purposes.
