You can withdraw money only after one of the three balances (EUR, USD, or RUB) has been funded.
Balance funding
Payment for works or services is credited to the freelancer's balance when the task has been paid for and its status has changed to "Paid." The money arrives in the currency of the task. You need to withdraw funds from each balance for each currency separately. You can't make transfers between differently denominated balances.
Withdrawal currencies
Withdrawals can be made from any balance, but there may be restrictions on the payment currency imposed by the payment system or Solar Staff's partner banks, or arising from Offer Agreements.
Upon withdrawal, the freelancer can choose the payment currency from those available for the selected payment method. If the payment currency differs from that of the balance, the amount undergoes automatic conversion.
Euro-denominated withdrawals to crypto wallets are converted into USDT. The conversion is done using the payment partner's rate, which is shown on withdrawal confirmation and updated every 60 seconds.

Conversion rate
Starting June 20, 2024 we have updated the USD/RUB and EUR/RUB conversion rules. This is due to the latest US sanctions.
Before: Daily updates to conversion rates based on the official rates of the Bank of Russia, +/- 1.5% spread.
Now: Manually set conversion rates based on partner banks' exchange rates. The rate will update every business day, at around 00:00 UTC.

For the currency pair EUR/USD Solar Staff applies an internal conversion rate that's calculated as the official rate of the European Central Bank at the previous business day ± a 1.5% spread. Solar Staff applies the forex spread to official exchange rates for the sole purpose of offsetting its losses on exchanging currencies at the partner banks' rates.
