FAQ

Do I need an ID to make an FX transaction?

Where the foreign currency exchange transaction amount is below AMD 400,000 AMD, an ID is not required.

Can I exchange currency via Online Banking system?

Yes, you may buy or sell cashless currency via Online Banking system. However, any transaction for AMD 20 million and above is subject to approval by the Bank.
