Money transfers for Kazakhs have long ceased to be something complicated. Once, when going to another country or city, it was necessary to ensure a sufficient amount of cash with you. Now transfers are made in minutes. Reasons for this may vary - helping a relative, a gift to a friend, a purchase, and so on. We decided to figure out what you need to know about money transfers, reports NUR.KZ.
How to send money abroad or to another city in Kazakhstan?
Transferring funds to a person in another city of the country is not difficult. You can use bank services or transfer from card to card. If the sender's and recipient's cards belong to different banks, a commission fee provided by the respective financial institution will need to be paid.
Additionally, you can use the services of international money transfer systems, which allow you to send money both within the country and abroad. Such systems include 'Western Union', 'Unistream', 'Golden Crown', and 'CONTACT'. To transfer money, you need to approach a bank working with these systems. For example, you can use Nurbank and win cash prizes or a trip to the sea. Prizes can be chosen by both those sending the transfer and those receiving it.
What do you need to know for a transfer?
To make a transfer, it's enough to know the country and city where the person you are sending funds to is located, as well as their personal details - first name and last name. On your side, you need to have an identity document.
You can independently choose the transfer system based on the most favorable terms. A bank consultant can assist you with the choice by providing the necessary information.
To make a transfer, you need to fill out an application, deposit the money at the cash desk, and pay the commission fee. The control number provided by the bank manager after the transfer needs to be given to the recipient.
How quickly will the recipient get the money?
Typically, money transfers are divided into urgent and regular. The former is received in a few minutes, while the regular transfer requires waiting a few days.
To receive the money, the recipient needs to visit a branch of the money transfer system, provide the manager with the control number, the transfer amount, the country and city of sending, and the sender's first and last name. The recipient must have an identification document with them. If it concerns a foreign country, this should be a passport.
