Money transfers Contact (CONTACT) are cash, addressless money transfers within Russia and abroad. Neither the sender nor the recipient is required to open an account. Contact is the first Russian system money transfers, founded in 1999. Currently the Contact operator is .

Contact has a large number of sending points and receiving points, usually at each point you can both send and receive a transfer.

If we compare Contact with transfers, then the latter has more sending points, since the transfer can be made in communication stores (Euroset, MTS, Svyaznoy, Beeline, Know-How) and Kari stores; the transfer can only be received at a partner bank. Contact only works with banks.

How to send

To make a transfer, you need to select the point of departure on the official Contact website and the point of receipt. Come to the point of departure with your passport and provide the recipient’s last name, first name, patronymic, as well as the country, city and transfer amount.

Within Russia, transfers are made in rubles, the maximum amount of one transfer is 500,000 rubles.

Within the CIS, transfers can be made in three currencies: rubles, dollars and euros. To foreign countries - in dollars and euros.

Payments abroad have the following maximum limits: for residents $5,000 per day, for non-residents - $10,000, €10,000 or 350,000 rubles.

Transfer via terminal

If the transfer amount is no more than 15,000 rubles (including commission), then it can be sent through the Payment Terminal. Commission is approximately 1-2%. You need to enter information about yourself and the recipient, country, city and amount and deposit money into the terminal.

On mobile phone You will receive a code that needs to be communicated to the recipient. You can receive the transfer, as usual, through any collection point in the specified city.

Transfer via mobile phone

Transfer via mobile phone is convenient for the sender because the transfer can be sent anywhere there is mobile connection, but the transfer fee will be significantly higher and depends on the operator.

The transfer is carried out by sending an SMS message, after which mobile number a transfer control number is sent, which must be passed on to the recipient.

For the recipient, it does not matter how the transfer is sent; he needs to come to the receiving point for cash.

How to get

The sender informs the recipient of the transfer number, amount and city. The recipient must come to the receiving point with a passport, state the transfer number, last name, first name, patronymic of the sender, currency and transfer amount.

The transfer fee

Official commission for Transfers Contact in Russia 1%, but not more than 1,000 rubles(the same as the Golden Crown), but some partner banks charge much more.

Unlike the Golden Crown, already on the Contact website you can calculate what the commission will be in a particular bank. To do this, you just need to enter the country and city in the “Translation Cost” section and the system itself will select the sending addresses. Select a specific item, indicate the amount, and the commission amount will appear on the screen.

For example, Bank Vozrozhdenie charges the following commission for a Contact transfer:

  • if the transfer is no more than 12,500 rubles - 1% + 75 rubles, but not less than 85 rubles.
  • amount from 12,500 to 100,000 rubles. - 1.5%.
  • amount from 100,000 rub. up to 500,000 - 1,500 rub.

This commission is higher than that indicated on the website.

The recipient of the Contact does not pay a commission for the transfer, which is a plus. For example, Sberbank takes a commission from international recipients in the amount of 1%.

Transfer status

You can check the status of the transfer on the website. To do this, you need to enter the sending date, number and surname, first name and patronymic of the sender in the “Checking transfer status” section.

As with any cash transfers, when sending money transfers to Contact, remember the following:

    • When sending a transfer, carefully check the details of your recipient; one wrong letter can lead to a lot of wasted time and nerves.
    • Decide in advance on the pickup point - this is important. Sending money is easy, but receiving it can sometimes be very difficult, especially if locality where the transfer is sent is small. The information on the official website is not always correct; it must be checked.
