How do I transfer money to a bank in another country?

Deposit details from another country



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.

• Check how long the transaction will take: international transfers can take anywhere from a few minutes to several business days, depending on the bank and destination.
