YEREVAN, December 10. /ARKA/. VTB Bank (Armenia) jointly with Best payment system has launched a new money transfer service.

The direct money transfer to banking cards is now added to the two other money transfer ways available at the bank.

IT means if money is transferred in Russian rubles, and three card accounts (in Armenian drams, US dollars and Russian rubles) it comes to ruble account, and if a similar currency doesn’t exists, the transferred money is converted into the top-priority currency in the card accounts.

The service is free. The sender will pay only for transfer via Best system. The service is available in 24/7 regime.

To receive more detailed information you can call 87-87 or visit any of the bank’s branches.
