Which Countries Can I Send Money to Georgia From?

You can send money to Georgia from nearly anywhere in the world. Here are the most common options.

EU Countries

Georgia has strong financial ties with the EU, and most European banks allow transfers to Georgian accounts. You can use platforms like Wise and Revolut if you don’t have an EU bank account but want a quick and easy transfer.

The USA

Despite the distance, US-based users can send funds via SWIFT, PayPal, or crypto. Online services like Wise, Xe, and Remitly are commonly used, making transfers smooth and efficient.

Russia

Money transfers from Russia are possible through cryptocurrency, card-to-card services, and intermediaries. Direct SWIFT transfers are heavily restricted due to sanctions, but cash-out options via Zolotaya Korona remain available. Payments through third-party providers are also widely practiced.

How Can I Send Money to Georgia?

There are several ways to send money depending on your location, the amount, and how fast you need it.

Card-to-Card Transfers

Some banks and apps — such as Paysend, Revolut, SendNOW, and KoronaPay — allow direct transfers to Georgian cards, making them a fast and convenient option for small to medium amounts. Visa, Mastercard, and Maestro are usually supported, but not all foreign cards work with local banks like Bank of Georgia or TBC, so it’s important to check compatibility in advance.

Sample instructions for sending money for this method:

1. Open the app (e.g., Paysend or Revolut).

2. Select “Card-to-card transfer.”

3. Enter the recipient’s 16-digit card number, and specify their country.

4. Sometimes you’re also asked for the recipient’s phone number or email—ensure it matches the account linked to their card.

5. Enter the amount you wish to send.

6. Review the exchange rate, fees, and estimated arrival time in-app. In Paysend, the fee starts at $1.99, and money usually arrives within minutes. In Revolut, fees are shown before sending, and most transfers are instant or processed within 30 minutes.

7. Confirm and send. The recipient will receive the funds shortly after.

This method is ideal for small to medium transfers and is very user-friendly.

PayPal

PayPal can be used in Georgia for personal transfers if the recipient has a verified account, but it’s not commonly used for large incoming payments. Business features are limited, so it’s best suited for small personal transfers or online purchases.

To send money to Georgia via PayPal:

1. Log in to your PayPal account.

2. Click “Send” and enter the recipient’s email address linked to their verified PayPal account.

3. Choose the amount, currency, and select “Friends & Family” for personal transfers.

4. Review fees and exchange rates (PayPal may charge up to 5% in fees and use its conversion rate).

5. Confirm and send.

SWIFT Transfer

Georgian banks support bank transfers via SWIFT and can be used to send larger amounts of money to Georgia. However, fees can be high — up to $30 per transaction — and transfers may take several days to arrive. Georgian banks also tend to scrutinize transfers from sanctioned or high-risk countries, such as Russia and Iran, so it’s essential to confirm the details with the receiving bank before initiating the transfer.

Crypto transfers to Georgia

You can easily send Bitcoin, USDT, ETH, and other cryptocurrencies to Georgia. It’s one of the fastest and most affordable ways to send money, especially for large amounts. Georgia’s crypto-friendly laws make it even more attractive — there’s no personal income tax on crypto gains for individuals.

There are two main ways to transfer crypto:

• Wallet-to-wallet transfers. You buy crypto on an exchange (like Binance or Coinbase) using your bank card or fiat account, then send it directly to the recipient’s wallet address. The recipient can then withdraw the crypto in Georgia using local OTC services or exchanges (for example, 1tab).

• P2P and exchanges. You exchange fiat for crypto directly with another person (via platforms like Binance P2P, Telegram groups, or crypto exchanges). They can send the crypto to you or directly to your recipient in Georgia. This method may be faster and more flexible, but it requires extra caution — always verify the counterparty’s reputation.

If you’re already in Georgia, here’s how you can receive money.

In Cash

You send crypto or fiat from abroad, and we deliver the money in person or through our partner locations.

The service is fast, private, and secure, usually completed within the same day. To send money with 1tab, follow these simple steps:

3. Fix the exchange rate and details. We confirm the rate, delivery method, and location for receiving funds. You’ll receive all terms before proceeding.

5. Receive your money in Georgia. We deliver the funds on the same day in most cases. You or your recipient can receive cash in USD or GEL (Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi, or Rustavi), transfer to your Georgian bank account (Bank of Georgia, TBC, or Credo), or crypto payout to your wallet.

6. Receive documentation if needed. We provide payment confirmations, receipts, or crypto invoices for compliance or property purchases.

In Crypto

You can send fiat or crypto from abroad and receive Bitcoin, USDT, ETH, or other stablecoins directly to your wallet in Georgia with 1tab. This is ideal for users who prefer to store funds digitally. Georgia has no tax on crypto earnings, which makes this method particularly attractive.

To Your Bank Account

1tab transfers lari, US dollars, or euros directly to your Georgian bank account, usually at Bank of Georgia or TBC Bank.

After you send crypto or fiat, just provide your IBAN and banking details. Transfers are processed quickly and securely, with complete documentation to ensure compliance.

In Which Cities Can I Get Money?

1tab currently operates in Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi, and Rustavi. For large transfers, such as real estate purchases, vehicle payments, or business transactions, it’s recommended to contact 1tab in advance to arrange documentation, compliance checks, and delivery logistics.

Are There Any Limits on Money Transfers to Georgia?

There are no formal legal limits on the amount of money you can bring into Georgia or transfer digitally. However, large bank transfers over $50,000 may trigger compliance checks from banks. In such cases, you may be asked to provide documents such as a property sale contract, inheritance records, proof of business income, or tax declarations. Transfers from high-risk or sanctioned jurisdictions, such as Russia or Iran, often face additional scrutiny.

If you’re receiving large amounts in cash via crypto — for example, $50,000 or more — you’ll also need to show proof of origin. This can include blockchain transaction history, OTC invoices, exchange receipts, or supporting documents like bank statements or freelance income records.

1tab complies with all KYC and AML regulations enforced by Georgia’s Financial Monitoring Service. This means that quick identity verification (passport or ID, selfie, and a short questionnaire) is required, along with source of funds documentation for transactions exceeding $50,000. These procedures ensure your crypto-to-fiat transfers are entirely legal, transparent, and accepted by Georgian banks.

The Safety of Money Transfers

With 1tab, all transfers are verified, documented, and handled by professionals. We operate in accordance with local compliance standards and ensure that your funds are traceable and protected.

Avoid sending money through unknown Telegram users or informal exchangers. These options may seem cheaper, but they often lead to scams or blocked funds. Always use trusted providers with reviews and a track record.
