FAQ

Who pays the commission, the sender, or the recipient?

Commission is payable by the sender in AMD at the Central Bank exchange rate effective on that day. No additional fees charged to the recipient. If you do not have an account with Ameriabank, our Standard Tariffs for Individuals [1] will be charged.

In what currency are commissions charged?

Commissions are charged in AMD at the Central Bank exchange rate effective on that day. The amount of commissions for Unistream transfers depends on the amount and destination of transfer. Commissions for no-address transfers are charged in accordance with the fees for fast money transfers for individuals.

Can I cancel my transfer and get the money back?

If you want to cancel the transfer and get the money back, we must make an inquiry to check whether or not it has been paid to the recipient yet. If the recipient has not yet received the payment, you need to fill out a refund application form. Paid commissions are not refundable unless otherwise envisaged under the rules of the transfer system. You will get the amount back when it is returned by the intermediary bank.

What do I do if after making a transfer I realize that it contains wrong information?

If you would like to modify the transfer after it has been sent, and the money has not been picked up by the recipient yet, you should fill in the transfer modification form [1], indicating the data to be edited. Each money transfer system defines its own rules for editing transfers. Unless otherwise envisaged by the policies of the money transfer system or receiving bank, changes in transfer data are formalized within 1 banking day after submission of your application, provided the amount has not been paid to the recipient yet.

Where does the money go, if the recipient does not collect it immediately?

MoneyGram transfers are available for recipients for 90 calendar days. If the recipient does not collect the amount within that period, the transfer will be archived and in order to receive or cancel it you should contact the MoneyGram Contact Center.
