Richard , Holland Hello. Can you tell me please if you have a bank in Lugansk, or a related one? Sometimes I transfer money to the Ukraine but then I have to find an office wich can do this for me. Now I am looking for a bank with an i-bancode. Can you help me out please, so I can transfer money by internetbanking ? This will lower my costs.
Thanks very much in advance ! Hello, Richard!
Yes, we have our branches in Lugansk. If you transfer money to someone who lives in Ukraine, this person can open an account in our bank (it costs 10 hryvnas - approximately 2$). After that he/she will send you the properties of account. You will need it to transfer money. Entering in an account costs 1% of amount, which you transfer. You will pay the fee of the bank, which makes this transfer, and fee of correspondent bank (approximately 7 EUR).
Unfortunately, it is not possible to transfer money via internet.
You can also use Western Union to transfer money, but their fees are too high, and if you want to lower your costs it would be cheaper to transfer money using properties of an account here in Ukraine.
By the way, there are no banks with IBAN code in Ukraine, as far as our country is not part of EU. But it is not a problem, a lot of people from Europe make payments in favour of Ukrainian people, and vice versa. |
