Contact money transfer is a convenient way to quickly send money to another city or country.
General information about the translation system
This system was the first in Russia to quickly transfer money between people. It was founded in 1999. The system operator was Russlavbank. Contact money transfer system allows you to work in three currencies - Russian rubles, US dollars and euros. The network of the system is growing annually and today amounts to about 400,000 service points in Russia, European and Asian countries.
Tariffs for sending transfers in rubles
Contact money transfer is one of the cheapest shipping methods. In rubles, transfers within the system can be sent only within the CIS. When sending money within Russia, the commission of the system will be 1% regardless of the size of the transfer. Tariffs may depend on the amount of money that is sent, or they may not depend. For example, when sending funds from Russia to Azerbaijan, Belarus and Kazakhstan, the commission will be only 1%, and to Tajikistan and Uzbekistan - 1.5%. The maximum amount sent to Ukraine is $ 5,000, and to Estonia - $ 10,000 (tariff 1.4-1.5%). A Contact money transfer to Armenia will cost the sender 1% for a shipment of less than 110,000 rubles. If more money is sent, then the client will pay 1,100 rubles. If you send a transfer to the Baltic countries, the commission costs will depend on the bank where you plan to receive funds (from 1.5% to 2%).
Transfers in US dollars
Now let's talk about currency shipments. The system accepts, as we have already emphasized, remittances in euros and dollars. Moreover, it is important to note that there are some countries where you can send money exclusively in dollars or euros.
First, let's talk about dollar transfers. Only in this currency can the amount be sent to Australia, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Bangladesh, Barbados, Bahrain, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei, Vanuatu, Venezuela, Haiti, Guyana, Gambia, Honduras, Hong Kong, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Zambia India, Indonesia, Jordan, Yemen, Cambodia, Canada, Qatar, Kenya, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Kuwait, Laos and others. Speaking about the cost of sending money to these countries, we note the existence of a floating shipping fee. The cost of services depends on the amount of transfer. Consider the situation by the example of sending money to Kuwait. For amounts up to $ 150, you will pay the bank $ 6.5.
If you need to send from 150 to 200, then the services will cost already 8. The maximum commission fee is taken when sending from $ 7,500, then the client must still pay a bank commission in excess of this amount.
Euro
The minimum amount for sending a transfer in euros is 0.01 euro cent. Only in euros you can send money to countries such as Albania, Austria, Benin, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Hungary, Guadeloupe, Guiana, Djibouti, Spain, Cape Verde, Cyprus, Comoros, Malta, Martinique and others. In most European countries, Contact money transfers can be received both in euros and in dollars.
