How to transfer money from Russia to Belarus?

Russia and Belarus are closely related countries: common history, politics, high trade turnover. These two countries with a common history share family ties. After the collapse of the USSR, many families were divided by the erected borders between the two countries. A large number of Belarusians and citizens of this republic go to work in Russia, do business here, etc.

To send money to relatives in Belarus, earned money to the family back home, our compatriots and citizens of Belarus use various transfer methods.

Transfer from card to card

Online money transfer from card to card from Russia to Belarus is the fastest and easiest way to send money to your relatives. Few lending institutions offer such an opportunity, because we are talking about different countries. One of these banks is Alfa-Bank, which has branches in both countries.

Holders of cards of any credit institutions issued in Russia can send a transfer to cards issued in Belarus through a special service of the bank. The main thing is that both cards are not lower than the classic ones from VISA / Mastercard systems. Electron, Momentum or Maestro plastic is not suitable for such a transfer.

The user needs to specify the details of his bank card:

1. Number
2. Card expiration date
3. CVC / CVV2 code

In the second field, the client needs to indicate the recipient's card number, enter the transfer amount and select the transaction currency. In the bottom field, you can immediately see the commission.

For such a transfer from card to card to Belarus, the client will pay 2% of the amount +40 rubles (1.3 dollars or 1 euro). Thus, if you send 50,000 rubles in this way, the commission will be 1,040 rubles.

WebMoney

Transferring funds via WebMoney is a simple but less popular way to send money. The only drawback is that it is suitable only for young people who have an idea of ​​the WebMoney system and its use.

To make a transfer, the client must be registered in the WebMoney system, like the user receiving the money. Funds are sent to the wallet number in the system. The transfer fee will be 0.8% of the transaction amount. The money will be credited to the account in about a few hours.

The problem with this method is that it will be problematic for a user in Belarus to withdraw money. You will have to use third-party services to withdraw from the WebMoney wallet to a local card, etc., and this is an additional commission of about 3-5%. This method can be immediately dismissed as the most expensive.

Golden Crown system

This is the most convenient option for transferring funds to Belarus from Russia. The client can apply with a passport to any office of the partner of the Zolotaya Korona system and make a transfer. The second option is online translation through the organization's website.

Also, the client must know the name of the recipient and his mobile phone number. He will receive an SMS notification of the received transfer through the Zolotaya Korona service. This message will contain a special number. The recipient of the transfer must name it when receiving the funds.

The process of submitting through the Golden Crown website looks pretty straightforward. First, click on the "Money Transfers" tab in the top menu of the main page, select "Send Online".

In the window that opens, the client will immediately see the amount of the commission, the conversion rate and the final payment amount.

The fifth step is to validate all data. Here you can change the mistakes made, change the payment amount or currency, etc.

The last step is to pay for the transfer from your bank card issued by a Russian bank. To do this, the client needs to indicate the plastic number, expiration date and CVC / CVV2 code (on the back), press the "Pay" button.

After that, the phone will receive a payment confirmation code from the issuing bank, it must be entered in the field that opens. The money will be debited from the plastic and sent to the addressee by transfer through the Golden Crown.

Approximate enrollment time is 1-2 hours. The addressee will receive an SMS message with his number about the received transfer. A resident of Belarus will be able to find cash pick-up points on the system's website on the Internet.

Western Union

Transfer through the Western Union system almost completely copies the payment in the previous way. The client is given 2 ways to make a transfer: remotely via the Internet or in the office.

In the first case, the client needs to open the official website of the payment system and click the "Send transfer" button in the top menu of the main page.

Next, a special page for data entry will open. Here you need to select the recipient country (Belarus), indicate the transfer amount. Opposite the window with the transfer amount, you can immediately see the converted receipt amount in US dollars.

Just below you need to choose the method of receiving the transfer - in cash at the Western Union service point.

Even below, you need to select the method of payment for the transfer "With a bank card". It is convenient that the client immediately sees the commission (1% of the amount) and the total amount debited. Click "Continue".

In the next field, you need to enter the code that came to your phone from an SMS message.

Here you need to indicate the details of your bank card: plastic number, expiration date, CVV2 / CVC code. Next, a transaction confirmation code will be sent to the phone and the client will be able to pay for the transfer from the card.

The money will be sent instantly, and the recipient will receive an SMS message with the transfer number to receive it.

When sending funds at Megafon, Russian Post and partner banks through the Western Union system, the client will need a passport and addressee's data (full name, phone number).

On the spot, the employee must be informed that you want to send funds to Belarus, provide a passport and recipient's details. The employee will fill out a payment order, which must be carefully checked and paid on the spot. After that, the money will be sent, and the recipient will receive an SMS notification.

Sberbank of Russia

The largest Russian bank offers several ways to transfer money to Belarus at once.

Hummingbird from Sberbank

For example, a potential client can choose an instant transfer of Kolibri, which can be obtained at Sberbank branches in Belarus.

You can make a transfer using the Kolibri system from Russia to Belarus at the Sberbank branch that provides the service. You need to take your passport with you.

The client must inform the employee of the name of the recipient. Next, you need to pay the transfer amount and the commission at the checkout, where you will be given a special number. His client must independently inform the recipient.

After about 1-2 hours, the recipient on the territory of Belarus can contact Sberbank, name the special transfer number and receive cash.

MoneyGram from Sberbank

Bank clients can send money in dollars to Belarus in 10 minutes. The whole process completely copies the transfer of funds through the Kolibri system in the bank branches. The only difference lies in the fact that the Hummingbird is sent in rubles, and MoneyGram only in US dollars. The commission is also different.

Not every branch of Sberbank in Russia and Belarus sends / accepts transfers via MoneyGram. The user needs to know in advance about such a possibility in the selected offices of both countries.

International wire transfer through Sberbank

To make this transfer, the client must know the details of the recipient's bank account in Belarus.

To transfer funds, the client needs to contact the bank branch with a passport. You need to have the details of the bank and the recipient's account, his full name in Latin letters.

When the employee draws up the payment order, the client needs to carefully check it and pay. After that, the money will be sent.

Previously, it was possible to send money by transfers through the Anelik, Migom system, but the Central Bank of Russia revoked the licenses for these organizations to carry out activities.

Which translation is faster and cheaper?

The easiest way to send money from Russia to Belarus is remote payment through the Zolotaya Korona or Western Union systems.

To determine the cheapest method, you need to compare the commission for each option for a specific amount. For example, let's take a transfer in the amount of 50,000 rubles.

Thus, the transfer through the Golden Crown turned out to be not only the fastest and most convenient, but also profitable. The only drawback of this option is the possible absence of translation system offices in the city of the recipient's presence in Belarus. In this case, it will be more convenient to send money through Sberbank.
