In a phone call with Scholz, Putin said the money would be paid into Gazprom Bank and then transferred in rubles to Russia, a German statement said. The bank is not currently subject to sanctions.
What difference does it make who the money changer is?
It is an accounting exercise that lets Putin save face. EU pays exactly what they owe in EURO just what they would have done without Putin's silly demands.
Putin's bank then converts it into Rubels and sends it further to Russia so Putin can pretend he is getting paid in Rubels.
