OREANDA-NEWS. November 12, 2013. In November 2013, Alfa-Bank is launching its on-line card-to-card transfers to Europe. Among the recipient countries are Malta, Cyprus, the Czech Republic and more than 14 other European countries.

Card holders of any bank in these countries can transfer funds to their parents, children or friends just knowing the number of the recipient’s bank card. The recipient does not have to apply for cash with a cash dispensing office — funds will be automatically entered into his/her card, while cash, whenever necessary, may be anytime withdrawn at any ATM.

Maximum amount of a single transfer is 75,000 rubles or its equivalent in EUR or USD.

The "on-line card-to-card" service has been in place with the Bank just over a year, but is gearing up popularity. International transfers are one of the growth drivers, and therefore we have increased the number of the recipient countries from 6 to 23, including European countries were reside many of our compatriots. We are confident that the users will positively assess the merits of the new service", — says Elena Bocharova, Head of E-Commerce Products Development at Alfa-Bank.

More details on the service are available at the Bank’s website alfabank.ru/perevod.
