Find out in advance by phone which branch of Sberbank and at what time it is best to come about the transfer.

How to send

MoneyGram is an international transfer and can only be sent abroad. You can make a transfer to neighboring countries (Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Georgia and others, as well as Israel) only at a bank; communication shops make transfers only to non-CIS countries.

To send a transfer you only need a passport and cash; an account will not be opened. The sender needs to provide the recipient's first and last name in Latin letters. Each transfer is assigned a control number, which must be communicated to the recipient.

Transfers can only be made in dollars. The maximum transfer amount for residents is $5,000, for non-residents — $10,000.

How to get

You can receive the transfer in dollars or euros, depending on what currency the sender indicated. The recipient is obliged to present a passport at the MoneyGram point and provide the control number of the transfer.

Translation rates

A fixed commission is charged for a MoneyGram transfer depending on the transfer amount and the country of origin; the recipient does not pay a commission. For example, money transfers (CONTACT) charge a commission as a percentage of the transfer amount.

Please note that the commission in the bank is significantly higher than in the communication shops. Before making a translation:

  • calculate the commission,
  • find out the point of departure,
  • decide on the pick-up point.

The cash transfer system is intended for those clients who do not have a bank account or payment card. MoneyGram transfers are simple, fast transfers from the world leader in money transfers.
