Step 1
Money transfers around the world are carried out by Western Union. Their offices can be found in almost every city; most of the Russian Post offices have branches of this company. You can transfer up to USD 5,000 or an equivalent amount in another currency through the Western Union system - as a rule, the currency that is valid in the territory of the country to which the money is sent is selected. Money transfer by Western Union is possible only between individuals. To send money, you need to present a passport or any other identity document valid on the territory of the Russian Federation. If you are sending foreign currency units (for example, euros to Europe), you will need to provide a certificate confirming the exchange of rubles for euros, or a customs declaration. So, in order to make a money transfer to Europe, at any Western Union branch, present an identity document, fill out a short form about the data of the recipient of the money, name the country and city to which you want to send the required amount. Western Union accepts and issues cash only. The operator of the company will tell you the KNDP number (control number of the money transfer). Save it and your money transfer receipt. Provide the recipient with your full name, KNPD number (in some countries, it is required to receive a money transfer). Upon presentation of an identity document, he will receive the money sent for him. You can find out that the money transfer has been made on the Western Union website by going to the “Transfer Status” page and entering the KNPD number in the appropriate field.
Step 2
You can make an urgent money transfer to Europe using MoneyGram services. Branches of this company can be found in the offices of partner banks, for example, Sberbank of Russia, Rosbank, Raiffeisen Bank, Master Bank. Only cash is accepted for transfers. Transfer the money to the MoneyGram agent by presenting your ID. In some cities, you may be asked for proof of residence, such as a bank account or utility bill. With the money, you can send a 10-word written message for free. When transferring funds, you will receive an identification number. Let the recipient know. By presenting an identity document and providing an identification number, your European friend will be able to receive cash in 10 minutes.
