Bps sberbank money transfer border. International cash transfer "Hummingbird

We check the quality of service in Belarusian banks. Today we will test transfers to the card BPS-Sberbank. Let's find out how to transfer money instantly, and how without commission.

First, we call the contact center of the bank.

- Good day. My name is Alina. How can I help you?

- Hello. I need to transfer money to your bank card. How can i do this?

- You want to transfer from the card of some other bank, right?

— I have 2 translations. One transfer from a card of another bank to your card, and the second - from my BPS-Sberbank card to another BPS-Sberbank card.

– In this case, if you use the Internet banking of our bank, you can transfer funds remotely to personal account. If you have a salary package, or for personal purposes you have issued a “Classic” or “Status” service package, or you have a ComPass card, then there are several translation options Money without any fees. Do you know what card you have?

A few minutes later, we found out that I had the most common card, which means that I would still be charged a commission for transferring to another client of the bank - 1.8% of the amount.

This is the usual debit card, not included in the service package, so a commission will be charged - this is 2BYN, if to the card of our bank,- explained the specialist.

- Is it through Internet banking?

Yes, if it is through Internet banking. It indicates the card number and the expiration date of the recipient's card.

- Can I get a phone number?

—Yes, it is also possible by phone number, if the client of our bank…

- And if from a card of another bank?

— If you transfer money from a card of another bank, then you can also remotely, without leaving your home, through the ERIP system. It indicates either the contract number or the invoice number in the formatIBAN. This will be without any fees.

It's clear. And how fast?

- As soon as the money is credited to our bank, the funds are immediately credited to the account. Usually no later than the next business day.

So not instantly?

— No, not instant transfer.

- Can't you instantly transfer to your bank card?

- If you use the information kiosk. In this case, the recipient's card number is indicated, it is possible from a card of another bank, as well as in cash. This will be an instant replenishment of the card without commissions.

The first transfer is from a card of another bank to a BPS-Sberbank card

On the advice of a specialist, we used the ERIP system.

Transfer without commission, we only needed to indicate the account number, which can be found in the Internet bank.

Despite the fact that the contact center specialist said that the transfer was not instant, the money was received on the card very quickly. I think we are very lucky.

It should be noted that the contact center specialist spoke in some detail about the transfers.

However, for a transfer from a card of another bank, I was offered only one “non-instant” option - the ERIP system. But it's not.

In fact, BPS-Sberbank has its own transfer system "Translate for me", the money should come instantly, however, a commission of 1.8% will be charged for such a transfer, and for transfers you can only use Mastercard and Maestro.


The second experiment is a transfer between BPS-Sberbank cards

For the second transfer, the specialist advised using transfers in the Internet banking system with a commission.

In chapter "Catalog" choose "Transfer to a private person".

You can transfer money both by card number and by phone number. I used the second option. The system automatically found the recipient, so I just had to check the full name and card number.

It remains only to confirm the transfer of SMS. The money on the recipient's balance appeared in the same minute!

Correspondent's personal opinion

The consultation turned out to be incomplete, the girl suggested using the ERIP system and transfers in the Internet bank for the transfer, but did not tell about the Transfer Me transfer system!

Despite the fact that the transfer through the ERIP system is “not instant”, the money can only come the next day, they appeared on our balance sheet very quickly.

If you use the "Transfer to me" service, the transfer will be instant, but with a commission and only between Mastercard and Maestro cards.

As for intrabank transfers, they are also instant, the only pity is that you have to pay a commission. :(

Sberbank - transfers KOLIBRI

Hummingbird transfers across Ukraine, as well as between Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus, will soon be stopped, as Sberbank of Russia is selling a subsidiary bank JSC Sberbank of Russia (Ukraine).

In October 2016, a number of Russian payment systems (including Hummingbird) fell under the expanded sanctions of Ukraine, in response to this, on March 22, 2017, the State Duma adopted changes in the third reading the federal law"About the national payment system”, banning cross-border Money transfers from Russia to Ukraine using foreign payment systems. Putin signed the law.


Of all types of money transfers in Russia, urgent transfers cash Hummingbirds of Sberbank of Russia are considered to be among the youngest. This type of transfer appeared in early 2013, when Sberbank rebranded the Blitz money transfer system, popular among the population, which received a new life as urgent cash transfers Hummingbird. The conditions for processing this urgent transfer have been significantly improved.

Hummingbird logo

So, KOLIBRI, these are urgent money transfers in cash of Sberbank of Russia, which are carried out both between Sberbank branches in Russia, and between Sberbank of Russia and its subsidiary banks abroad, as well as within one of the subsidiary banks. Transfers are made without opening an account (both by the sender and the recipient).

The system of urgent transfers "KOLIBRI" of Sberbank of Russia consists of several types of money transfers, namely:


  • Transfers within Russia - urgent cash transfers between Sberbank branches across Russia.

  • Transfers abroad - international urgent money transfers between Sberbank of Russia and its subsidiaries abroad.

  • Transfers within Ukraine - urgent cash transfers between branches of JSC "Sberbank of Russia" on the territory of Ukraine.
It should be noted that on the Crimean peninsula (Simferopol, Sevastopol, etc.), which joined Russia in 2014, there are still no branches of the Savings Bank of Russia, and therefore this type of transfer is not available in this part of Russia.

Banks involved in Hummingbird transfers

The branch network of participants in the Hummingbird transfer system consists of 4 banks:

  • Sberbank of Russia OJSC (Russian Federation)- with a branch network that provides acceptance and issuance of transfers in more than 10,000 branches of the bank. Sberbank makes transfers within Russia and abroad. The list of branches of Sberbank of Russia that carry out Hummingbird money transfers can be viewed

  • SB JSC "Sberbank" (Republic of Kazakhstan)- with 33 service divisions that carry out transfers with Russia (Almaty, Astana, Aktau, Aktobe, Taldykorgan, Atyrau, Karaganda, Pavlodar, Uralsk, Kostanay, Ust-Kamenogorsk). You can see the list of branches of SB Sberbank JSC that carry out international urgent money transfers Hummingbird

  • JSC Sberbank of Russia (Ukraine)- with 160 branches of the bank, which are present in all regions of Ukraine (Kyiv region, Crimean Autonomous Republic, Dnepropetrovsk region, Donetsk region, etc.). The bank carries out transfers both with Russia and across the territory of Ukraine (within its branch network). The list of branches of Sberbank of Russia JSC that carry out these transfers can be specified

  • BPS-Sberbank OJSC (Republic of Belarus)- with subdivisions in 46 cities of the republic (Minsk, Mogilev, Brest, Vitebsk, Gomel, etc.), which carry out transfers with Russia. The list of structural divisions of BPS-Sberbank can be viewed

On none of the websites of the banks listed above, I found information that the Hummingbird system can be used to make transfers between subsidiaries of Sberbank of Russia directly. That is, for example, transfers from Kazakhstan to Ukraine or from Ukraine directly to Belarus are not made, and this is a big minus of the system.

Conditions and commission for urgent money transfers KOLIBRI

  • Transfers within Russia

And in order not to get into a difficult situation, it is advisable not to lose or throw away the receipt for the sent transfer until you receive information that the recipient has received the transfer.

Some residents of the Russian Federation may need to send personal finances to another country, for example, to Belarus. Citizens of Russia are interested in the question of how best to send money.

This can be done in several ways, but the most popular option is to use the services of Sberbank.

It is not possible to send money directly from a Sberbank card to a Belarusian card.

But the bank offers other methods of sending funds:

  1. Urgent international cash transfer "Hummingbird". In this case, you can send funds without opening a new account. Sending is made at the bank office. The procedure takes no more than an hour. Both the recipient and the sender are charged a commission fee of 1%.
  2. Fast international MoneyGram transfer. The transaction is completed within 10 minutes. The percentage for the procedure depends on the amount of funds transferred. When sending up to $ 100, 2% is charged, up to $ 300 - 3%, and so on.

Funds are transferred almost instantly. Already an hour after the completed transaction, the recipient can pick up the money at the bank branch.

In addition, Sberbank makes it possible to send cashless transfer from Russia to Belarus. To do this, a person needs to come to the office of Sberbank with a passport. Tell the manager the details of the recipient's account and give the required amount. The deadline for sending finances is two days.

Transfer from Alfa-Bank card to recipient's card

Virtual transfers are much easier if the sender and recipient have cards from the same bank. Alfa-Bank enables its customers to transfer money from card to card, including from Russia to Belarus.

If the card has the required amount, then you can simply make a transfer. All this is done online. But there are some restrictions, for example, it is possible to transfer no more than 75,000 rubles at a time, and no more than 500,000 rubles in 30 days.

To complete the transaction, you will need the details of the card of the sender and the person receiving the funds. You will also need to enter the card PIN. The procedure is performed on the Internet, that is, a personal visit to the bank office is not required.

When all columns are filled in, the commission for the transaction is calculated automatically, in the amount of 1.95% of the transferred amount.

Transfers through other payment systems

There is another option for sending funds - this is the use of various payment systems. The most popular and demanded systems are:

  • Western Union;
  • contact;
  • migom.

Each service has its own characteristics.

Western Union

This system has been popular for many years. Thanks to the service, it is possible to make a transaction without opening an account. You can receive funds within a couple of minutes after sending them.

The commission for the completed transaction is from 1 to 1.7%. It depends on the amount of the transaction and on the type of currency. To receive a transfer, you must present a passport, fill out a special form, indicate the transaction number, amount and other information. This method is considered the most reliable and simple.

contact

The operation through this system is carried out in the same way as in Western Union. There is no need to create additional accounts. But this option is valid until the limit, which for Belarus is equal to 500 base units (the base unit is determined by the exchange rate).

If a person exceeds this limit, you will need to create a personal account. At the same time, registration is carried out with the Department of Humanitarian Affairs. To receive and cash out finance, the written permission of this Department will be required.

When making a transaction, a commission of 3% of the transaction size is paid. The transfer takes from several minutes to a day. To receive, you will need a passport, transfer number, amount. This system is not as simple as Western Union and has some complexities.

migom

In this system, as in the previous case, there is a limit on the amount of the transfer. If this limit is exceeded, you will also need to open a special account. But the base values ​​are reduced to 100.

It will take only a quarter of an hour for the funds to reach the recipient. The commission depends on the currency of the transaction. When sending rubles, the commission varies from 1.5 to 2%. When sending foreign currency, the commission is from 2 to 3%. To receive funds, you must have a passport and an application for obtaining finance.

As you can see, there are many options for sending funds from Russia to Belarus. Each client independently chooses the system by which the procedure will be performed.

The advantage of modern banking system is its global nature, thanks to which customers can transfer funds not only within the country, but also to any bank in the world. Given that Belarus and Russia are on friendly terms, their citizens may need to transfer funds. One such option is one that allows you to transfer money to Belarus through Sberbank, but customers ask if this can be done through an online system.

On the possibility of transferring funds from Russia to Belarus through Sberbank

If customers want to send money to Belarus directly to a bank card in this country, they will be refused, because this simply cannot be done. Although Sberbank is present in Belarus, it is impossible to make a direct transfer to its card, and it is necessary to use international systems. As in other countries, funds can be transferred in cash or from an account, including using Internet banking.

Transferring money from a Sberbank card to Belarus is not a difficult undertaking if a person knows the name of the recipient, details of his bank and other official information. First you need to take the data from the recipient of funds, which he has the right to request from his bank. You can transfer all the information via the Internet or by phone, after which the Russian must provide the details to the cashier or enter them in Internet banking.

Available methods

Even taking into account the fact that BPS-Sberbank, operating in Belarus, has been a subsidiary of the Russian Sberbank since 2009, the client is not spared the need to use international payment systems. You can transfer money from Russia to Belarus through Sberbank in several ways:

  • cash transfer through the Hummingbird system;
  • moneygram;
  • international transfers in cash or non-cash methods.

The first method, which is using the Hummingbird system, allows you to send money without having to open a new account with Sberbank. To send it, you can contact the company's office directly and transfer the money to the cashier or consultant. The transfer procedure will be carried out within an hour, although money is usually transferred earlier. The peculiarity is that both the sender and the recipient pay a commission in the amount of 1% of the transfer amount.

The MoneyGram international system makes it possible to send money, which will be received by the addressee in 10 minutes, however, it is impossible to transfer money from a Sberbank card. But the percentage in this case is quite high, since the funds are transferred in a currency, usually dollars. For amounts up to $100, fees will be 2%, and for larger amounts, the percentage will be higher, for example, from $100 to $300, you will need to overpay 3%.

An international cash and non-cash transfer is carried out within a period of up to two business days, while the money will be sent within a day if the transfer is made to a card or account. For the transaction, you should pay 2% if it is made in rubles, when sending the currency, you will need to overpay 1% of the amount. Previously, Sberbank offered its clients the Blitz service, which later became known as Hummingbird.

Important! At the moment, this is one of the fastest ways, because money is available within 10-20 minutes after sending. Both rubles and dollars with euros can be sent. The main thing is that a commission of 2% for a transaction in national currency and 1% for transfers in foreign funds is paid.

Is it possible to transfer money through Sberbank Online

When sending money between clients of Russian banks, there are no problems, and such a task can be completed through Sberbank Online. But the situation changes when the money needs to be sent abroad, in particular, to Belarus. The fact that in this country there is a subsidiary of Sberbank does not negate the fact that these are different legal entities hosted in different countries. Therefore, it is impossible to transfer money to Belarus through Sberbank Online, and other international systems must be used for this.

They, in turn, require only a visit to the branch, and, depending on the system, different lists of documents will be required. For example, the easiest way would be to generate a translation of "Hummingbird", which can be sent to Belarus and Kazakhstan. In addition to the passport and full name of the recipient, no data is required. SWIFT transfer will be less convenient, because, in addition to the passport, you need to know the name of the bank where the recipient will receive money, as well as his SWIFT code. In addition, you must also provide the address of the recipient or his passport data.

MoneyGram, which requires a higher commission, will require a smaller list of data. So, the client will manage only with his own passport and the name with the recipient's surname, written in Latin letters. But it will be possible to receive a transfer from abroad through Internet banking, if the company allows it. Then you need to go to the payments and transfers section, and then enter the required transaction details.

Alternatives

In addition to official banks, there are no less legal methods, which, in particular, are payment systems. Of these, the most international is WebMoney, which works in most countries of the world, and if the client replenishes the account and then sends funds to another user of the system, the operation will take place without any codes and additional data.

The problem is that you first need to enter personal data into the account and confirm it using passport data. But the verification is fast, and to make a transfer, you only need to know the user's wallet number, while new ones open instantly and do not require additional confirmation. In addition, you can link a card of any bank to your account and subsequently immediately transfer money directly to it. The transfer fee is set at 2-3% of the amount, which is quite tolerable compared to other options.

If the intrabank systems and WebMoney do not suit the client, he can use additional transfer systems, one of the most convenient is Western Union. Almost every bank in the world is connected to it, and Belarusian institutions are no exception. To work with it, you do not need to open an additional account, and the funds arrive to the addressee within a few minutes after sending.

The commission of this method will be a maximum of 1.7%, and it depends on the size of the transaction, as well as the type of currency. To receive a transfer, the receiving party must present a passport, as well as fill out a special form. It indicates the transaction number, its amount and other information, so the method is quite simple and reliable.

Conclusion

There are several ways to transfer funds from Russia to Belarus, but you must definitely come to the Sberbank office, since such a transaction cannot be completed through its online system. A person can choose several systems and ways of transferring funds, which differ in commission and deadlines for completing the task. At the same time, there is a transfer that works only in subsidiary banks of Belarus and Kazakhstan - Hummingbird, it allows you to receive money in 10 minutes and even credit it to your card via Internet banking.
