YEREVAN, December 10. /ARKA/. VTB Bank (Armenia) jointly with Best payment system has launched a new money transfer service.

The direct money transfer to banking cards is now added to the two other money transfer ways available at the bank.

To use this service, holders of VISA or MasterCard of VTB Bank (Armenia) need to tell money senders the four final figures of their card numbers and the last five figures of their passport numbers.

The sender provides the above-mentioned data to an officer of a sending bank and says that the money is to be sent right to VTB Bank (Armenia).
