To send money, you must do the followings:

  • Present your identity document to the bank employee
  • Fill in the standard “Send money” form. After filling in the form, you must sign it and present it to the bank employee with your identity document.
  • Then you have to give the amount you plan to send to the recipient to the cashier and pay a commission fee for the transfer (the commission is determined in accordance with the existing Tariffs).
  • After posting your information, the bank employee will give you a special ten-digit control number. You must provide that number to the person to whom you send the money. For more security, when sending money you can ask a control question, indicating the answer. If the control question is answered correctly, the money you send will be given to the recipient.

If the recipient is not available, a Western Union representative will call him/her within two days (three times a day).
