Since March 16, 2014, Crimea has officially become a subject of the Russian Federation, so its banking system has undergone significant changes. Today, there are several ways to transfer money to Crimea: through a fast money transfer system, e-wallets, Russian Post and a bank account.
Money transfer system
You can send money anywhere on the Crimean peninsula using the Zolotaya Korona money transfer system. The cost of the transfer will be 1% of the payment amount, but not more than 1000 rubles. To make a transfer, you need to go to any bank branch that works with this system of fast transfers and indicate the recipient's coordinates. The recipient of the money transfer will be able to receive money at the branches of GENBANK and KraiInvestBank. As a rule, the funds reach the recipient within a few hours.
You can also use a similar money transfer system Western Union. The fee for the transfer of funds will depend on the amount of the transfer. Almost all banks located in Russia and the Republic of Crimea work with the Western Union system.
Electronic wallets
Recently, the Russian Post and GENBANK in Crimea have the opportunity to issue money transferred from the WebMoney electronic wallet. To confirm personal data, you must upload a scan of your passport and TIN into the system. The WebMoney payment system charges a fee of 1.8% of the payment amount for the transfer of funds. The procedure for sending a transfer is quite simple: the recipient registers in the WebMoney system, creates a ruble wallet (WMR) and sends the sender its number. Funds are credited to the wallet within a few minutes.
Similarly, you can transfer money to Crimea using the electronic payment services Yandex. Money and Visa QIWI Valet. In this case, the difference will be only in the cost of the translation.
Money transfer by Russian Post
Money transfer by Russian Post is perhaps the simplest and most popular method today. You can make a transfer at any nearest branch, indicating the full name, address and index of the recipient. The money reaches the recipient in 2-3 working days. When transferring funds to Crimea through the Russian Post, a commission of 250 rubles + 1% of the payment amount is charged from the sender.
Transferring money to a bank card or account
GENBANK, Sberbank and RNBK have the largest number of branches on the territory of Crimea - they are present in almost every settlement of the peninsula. The term for crediting the money transfer to the recipient's personal account is, as a rule, 1-3 working days. The commission for transferring funds, depending on the chosen bank, will be from 0.5% to 2%.
