A certain number of Russian citizens live permanently or temporarily abroad. And if they need to transfer money to their friends or relatives, they need to know how to do it.
Instructions
Step 1
If the person you want to send money to has a bank account, use a bank transfer. To do this, you will need to find out not only the addressee's account number, but also the full name of the bank, its correspondent account, and, if available, the name of the foreign intermediary bank through which all such currency transactions are carried out.
Step 2
Come to the branch of the foreign bank where you have an account. Enter the required amount of money on it and fill out the documents for transferring money to Russia. Some banks provide customers with the opportunity to make money transfers directly via the Internet, from the personal account of the bank's client, access to which is present on the website of the financial institution. After the payment order has been issued, the transfer can take from two working days to a week. Also, be prepared for the fact that you will be charged a significant commission for sending money to a Russian bank.
Step 3
If you want the addressee to receive money on the day of sending, use one of the instant money transfer services. Find out which money transfer operators' branches are close to you. Money can be transferred not only through the most common Western Union system, but also with the help of other companies. In some countries, the Contact and Anelik systems are common in Russia. Find out their transfer fees, contacting them may be cheaper than working with Western Union.
Step 4
Come to the branch of one of the payment systems with your passport and money. Tell us where and to whom you want to send money. You do not need to name the person's address, only the country and city of residence is enough. Give the money to the office employee, and in return receive your copy of the payment receipt. There will be a number on it that you will need to inform the addressee of the money shipment. With a number and a passport, he will be able to receive his money in Russia an hour after you contact the money transfer system.
