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.

Persist with Transferwise and get your account verified. You can use it in the long term even if it won't solve your problem right now. If you live in Europe, maybe you can verify your account with the local National ID Card, which doesn't require citizenship to obtain. It will at least prove your European residency. In the end you want to be able to send money from your American and European accounts, let Transferwise support know and perhaps they can suggest the best way forward.

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.

MP with happy ending is great way to relax, and Kyiv has some good places and most of all great prices for that concrete service if compared with the countries we come from.

Try Relax Massage (Pushkinska St, 31&#1042, whatsapp / telegram them before going and book with Milana, that is the one girl having a great massage and attitude, and nice body. I tried other masseuses there but like her much more, specially becaue she also actually gives you a great massage first.

Another alternative for MP is Toplessclub (Prorizna St, 18/1&#1075. This one is nicer setting maybe (the rooms bigger and more modern) and it should have 5 or more girls to choose anytime you go. However rotation is high there so try to pick up one that suits you, I have seen there some nice ones.

There are many more MP available, but these two are the ones which I had best recent experiences. Prices you'll be asked go on a "menu" between 900 - 1500 for the programs you could be interested. Makes not sense to pay for any other of the more expensive time lengths or VIP options. Go for 1 hour for 1 K or 1200 UH and maybe tip if you like it and you want she remember you next time.

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.

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.

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.
