What is the banking system and its role in international transfers
Before we delve into the methods of transferring funds, it is worth understanding what the banking system is. This is a set of different types of banks and banking institutions that operate within a single financial and credit mechanism. The system includes the Central Bank and commercial banks, specialized financial institutions, and banking infrastructure. It enables international transfers.
What are the ways to transfer money abroad
There are several main ways to transfer funds from Ukraine abroad:
- bank transfer via SWIFT system - provides transfer of funds between banks of different countries using standardized codes and messages;
- use of international payment systems (Western Union, MoneyGram) - allows you to send money abroad without the need to have a bank account;
- online services and e-wallets - offer lower fees, but require careful selection of a reliable provider and compliance with limits;
- cryptocurrency transfers - provide fast transactions with low fees and a high level of anonymity, but require technical knowledge;
- P2P transfers from cards issued by Ukrainian financial institutions to cards opened in foreign banks are a good way to transfer funds to individuals' accounts.
Each of these methods has certain peculiarities and limitations, disadvantages and advantages. The choice depends on the specific situation, the country of destination, and the amount to be sent.
How to transfer money abroad
Depending on the method you choose, the process may vary, but the general algorithm is as follows:
- Choose a transfer method.
- Prepare the necessary documents (passport, recipient's data).
- Contact your bank or transfer service.
- Specify the amount and currency of the transfer.

- Get a confirmation of the transaction.
Direct transfers to foreign cards are becoming increasingly popular. The Globus Plus mobile banking application allows you to make P2P transfers quickly and conveniently. Using the service, you can transfer funds to 45 countries: the United States, Canada, Asia and Europe.
What are the restrictions on transferring funds abroad?
Restrictions exist to ensure the stability of the national currency and prevent financial crimes. They may relate to the number and amount of transfers. For example, some banks set limits on the number of daily and weekly transfers. The former are limited to 30 transactions, and the latter to a hundred. As for funds, the total amount per month should not exceed UAH 100 thousand. These limits may vary depending on the bank and the type of client.
With Globus Plus, you can make up to 10 transactions per day for a maximum amount of UAH 29,999 each. Total transfers per month should not exceed UAH 90 thousand. At the same time, the transaction fee is very low - only 0.9% of the transfer amount, but not less than 1 EUR.
All international transfers are subject to close financial monitoring. This means that banks and financial institutions are obliged to check the source of funds and the purpose of transferring large amounts. When choosing a transfer method, it is important to consider not only convenience but also security. Risks include fraud, delays in payment processing, and unfavorable exchange rates.
Globus Plus offers the best solution for those looking for a reliable way to make international transfers. The bank provides secure transactions, competitive fees and high payment processing speed.
International payment systems and banking services provide a wide range of options for transferring funds abroad. When choosing a transfer method, consider the amount, urgency, fees and convenience for the recipient. And remember about the restrictions - they exist for your safety and the stability of the financial system as a whole.
