We provide maximum protection of interests of our customers. Therefore, we provide information about all possible options and help you choose the right one for you in each specific case. In terms of payment of costs of each transfer until it reaches the end recipient, there are three options:
All transfer expenses, including those of the Bank shall be borne by the recipient - where the recipient's account is kept in a bank outside the country of the European Economic Area (EEA), irrespective of the currency of payment.
All transfer related costs are borne by the remitter. In addition, he pays a fixed amount. This guarantees the receipt in full of the amount ordered and no additional costs from other banks involved in the payment chain.
