If, when trying to transfer money, you see the details of a foreign bank or mobile operator (that is, details for “another country”), there are a few important things to keep in mind:
1. Check the currency and current fees — find out whether you need to send the amount in rubles or a foreign currency, and what fees your bank charges.
2. Check whether transfers to the selected country are available — some banks may restrict or temporarily suspend transfers to certain destinations.
3. Follow the instructions in the app — the step-by-step transfer process may vary depending on the recipient’s region and the bank’s internal rules.
