I have used WU for Ukraine before. But I thought TransferWise might be better.

So indeed WU may be my next option. But I don't know how WU compares with IBAN or SWIFT. With IBAN or SWIFT, the problem is I don't know how much fee would be charged until I actually sent it.

It's been several years since I last sent money to Ukraine, so I thought there must be better options by now, but so far I can't find such an option.

Just send using Western Union with a cash pickup. Western Union include there fees in your payment and there are no fees for a cash pickup.

Anyone knows a good MP in Kyiv? I will really need a long nice massage with happy ending after my flight tomorrow in the afternoon. Updated info requested. There were nice ones before.

My best option is PayPal. The recipient can then simply transfer the money to his account. But this is really not a topic for this forum here!

Here it's about the women! I'm looking forward when I can go there again and the clubs are full.

PayPal was the first way I tried to send her money. She opened an accout at PayPal Ukrane, but she was not allowed to receive money.

This forum is about women and money. Do you read "Money is the world's greatest Aphrodisiac"?

Why not use, Western Union?

99% of the members here that send money to girls are basically flushing it down the toilet. Yet somehow the fee on wiring is an issue. WU is fine.

Thanks, guys.

Yes, by now I believe both IBAN and SWIFT incur fees. SEPA doesn't, but Ukraine is not in SEPA.

There are very few security features. A copy with Photoshop is possible without any problem. However, the list of recognized laboratories is limited. There are always problems with the recognition of the Covid tests. In that case you will be asked to do a new test. The embassies report about it. If a fake test is discovered upon arrival, you can be placed in pre-trial detention in Ukraine.

Thanks for the information. Do you know how can I find the list of approved laborotaries?

Banks will charge fees on most international deposits when it is bank to bank. I agree with another poster in using Transferwise and there are other similar such as moneygram, whichever you find most convenient and cost effective.

Unfortunately, I couldn't use TransferWise. My bank in the USA didn't allow me to send money to TransferWise because they are willing to send SMS with verification code only to US mobile phone or to call US landline phone to give the code, neither of which I have because I live in Europe. They don't call my US phone number I have with Skype. I can't use my banks in Europe because once I send my American passport to TransferWise, they only allowed me to use American banks.

It sounds like the cheapest way to send her money is to send her cash by regular mail.

SWIFT Code and IBAN both are used for international payments, you should ask the girls to get the bank code for international money transfer.

The bank branch should give it to her, or sometime the cheque book has that info as well, or she should be able to find it in her banks website.

Off couse, some payments gateways may not require these infos' as they tends to have their own data to look up based on the information you provide.

Hope that helps.

If you use IBAN, does it mean no fees are involved?.

I know this is not a very good topic, but has anybody sent money to Ukraine, using IBAN?

I don't know why my Polish bank online does not ask for IBAN and instead ask for SWIFT code of the bank and the bank account number of the recipient. I believe there is a fee involved if you do it this way. Basically, isn't it the same as wire transfer?

I'm just trying to send some money to a girl, whom I have know for a few years, for the holiday season.

Try using Transferwise. No problems sending any currency anywhere. Simple to use, with very low fees.

Yes I agree with Sean. If you get so much desperate in a strip club, go and visit a salon or call an escort to your hotel. Strip and lap dance is another pleasure. Probably I like it because of the beauty and youngness of girls in strip clubs. WG's usually not that cute.

Regarding test, I already had another surprise. All residents coming back from another country is requested to have a negative PCR test unless they will not be allowed to get on their return flight. So I must have a test in Ukraine just 72 hours before my return flight. What I don't understand is; Even in my country or in Ukraine someone can easily photoshop someone else's test result. How they can check the test result is real or fake? They can do that for the tests that are done in their own territory through the QR Scan but how can they understand a foreign test result is real or fake?
