Cross-Currency EUR Payment service allows you to make payments in foreign currencies all over the world at the most competitive rates.

When sending a cross-currency EUR payment, Rietumu Bank’s customer, sender of the payment, submits the payment order to the bank to transfer funds from his current account in EUR. Receiver of the payment gets an appropriate amount in local currency in line with valid exchange rates.

  • FRX code word;
  • local currency code for receipt of a payment;
  • local currency name for receipt of a payment;
