SHA The Payer pays the fee set by Bank for the transfer. All other fees related to the transfer, including those of the Correspondent Bank, Intermediary Bank, and the Beneficiary's payment service provider, if any, are paid by the Payee. The Payee's payment service provider credits the Payee's account with the transfer amount after deducting any applicable fees.

OUR All fees related to the transfer—including fees from Bank, Correspondent Bank, Intermediary Bank, and the Payee's payment service provider—are paid by the Payer. The Payer also agrees to cover any additional fees imposed by the banks involved in executing the transfer, if any. Bank reserves the right to deduct additional fees from the Customer's accounts without prior approval. The Payee's payment service provider credits the Payee's account with the full transfer amount. Bank is not liable if the Correspondent Bank, Intermediary Bank, or the Payee's payment service provider fails to follow Bank’s instructions or if the transfer is not received in full due to circumstances beyond Bank’s control. 

¹ An additional fee of 0,7% of the amount (min. EUR 20) is applied for crediting an incoming payment to a Bank Customer t’s account from a credit institution located in countries subject to international sanctions (e.g., Russia, Belarus).
² This applies only if the Customer’s IBAN account number is correctly specified in the “recipient” field of the receiving SWIFT MT 103 message.
³ An additional fee of 0,7% of the amount (min. EUR 20) is applied to outgoing payment from a Bank Customer’s account to a credit institution located in a country subject to international sanctions (e.g., Russia, Belarus).
⁴ The Bank processes the Customer's payment order with a value date determined by the payment priority indicated in the order (Standard, Urgent, Express), considering the Bank’s specified times for payment order submission. The value date may be postponed to the next available date in cases of non-business days at the Bank or non-business days in the relevant currency’s clearing system.
