The service plan “Traditional for the Ukrainian citizens” allows making unlimited credit transfers SEPA in euro (via online banking).
The rates applicable to the clients, who do not have a service plan are published here: in English, Russian and Lithuanian.
Besides, all the transfers in any currency to private and business clients in Ukraine are free of charge. If the commission fee was applied for the transfer, nothing needs to be done. The money will be refunded as soon as possible. If possible, we recommend to make transfers in euro – in such a way, the money will reach the beneficiary’s account sooner.
