Money transfers and payments through the CONTACT system
You can transfer funds through the CONTACT payment system by contacting one of several hundred thousand offices in Russia and abroad. The advantage of the platform lies in the high speed of funds crediting and low service fees.
Citizens interested in receiving financial services should visit any of the official service points. To complete the transfer, it is enough to inform the operator of the recipient's passport data. There is no need to fill out a service agreement and become a regular customer of the company: the service is provided only once, and the operator is responsible for filling in all the necessary data.
Upon completion of the procedure, the client is given an individual transfer number, which must be communicated to the recipient. At this number, the latter can receive cash in the appropriate amount, informing the combination to the employees of the nearest CONTACT office. In addition, the transfer and receipt of funds can be carried out by clients on their own using the company's special terminals. Transfers in rubles, US dollars and euros are available. There are no restrictions on the amount paid. For more information about the operation of the system and the current tariffs, please visit
