VTB (Armenia) launched a new service for transfers to “Mir” cards of all Russian banks

YEREVAN, June 17. /ARKA/. Retail clients of VTB (Armenia) can transfer funds from their “Mir” cards to cards of Russian users using a new service – through the bank’s website. Funds are credited to the recipient’s card instantly and without commission.

To send money to Russia, go to the “Transfers” section on the bank’s website and select “By card number”. Then go to the “To cards of Russian banks” tab and click on the “Transfer” button and go to the online transfer page. In the forms that open, fill in the details of the sender and recipient (any Mir card of a Russian bank will do).

Transfers are made in Russian rubles, without commission. The minimum amount of one transfer is 100 rubles, the maximum is 80 thousand rubles. You can transfer no more than 80 thousand rubles per day from one card, and the maximum number of transfers from one card is 3 transactions per day.

“We strive to make cross-border transfer services as accessible and convenient as possible for our clients. The volume of transfers to Russia in a quarter increased by 39% compared to the same period last year, which confirms the demand for the service. We have specifically simplified the process: now you can send money from card to card instantly, even without an application. This is part of our strategy to create convenient digital solutions for clients,” commented Taras Kladchenko, Deputy General Director and Chairman of the Directorate of VTB (Armenia).

If the client does not have a Mir card, he can order it for free directly on the page. The card is multicurrency, which allows you to make transfers from both the dram balance and ruble accounts.

The activities of VTB Bank (Armenia) CJSC are regulated by the Central Bank of the Republic of Armenia.
