OREANDA-NEWS. This past July, the BLIZKO money transfer system, masterminded by Sviaz-Bank, which also serves as its clearing center, celebrated its first year in the money transfer business, reported the press-centre of Sviaz-Bank.

The BLIZKO money transfer system operates 2,000 banking outlets in more than 300 cities and towns of the Russian Federation to wire clients’ money to almost any of the CIS countries. Rates and service terms are standard across the system for all countries or banks connected to the BLIZKO system – wherever you are your money can be collected at the other end of the line within a minute of transfer.

Geared to have more technologies on offer, the BLIZKO system introduced yet another service last July, BlizkoCard, a personal client identification card.
