TL;DR
Services like Unired and Multitransfer work unreliably: transfers to TBC and Kredobank cards are often blocked or fail with errors, so send a small test transfer before a large one.
Transfers via Unired to TBC bank cards stopped working — the system shows an error that this card type isn't supported, even though it worked fine before.
Over two days, no transfer went through: Ozon Bank first blocked the transaction as suspicious (later unblocked), and the Multitransfer service kept returning errors when trying to send money.
When transferring via Unired to a Kredobank card, the first test transfer arrived instantly (within a minute), but the second one to the same card got stuck. Unired support said this bank's Visa cards don't accept transfers, though the bank itself denies any restriction.
Practical tip: before sending a large amount via Unired, first make a small test transfer — this helps check whether that specific service-bank-card combination is working at the moment.
