Halyk has launched international MoneyGram transfers in Halyk SuperApp with an advertised fee of 0.5% of the transfer amount (inbusiness.kz). Customers can send money around the clock without visiting a branch. The app shows the terms for each transfer before confirmation.
What happened
MoneyGram, an international money transfer service, is now available in the Halyk app. Its network covers more than 200 countries and territories. The destinations named include Turkey, the US, Georgia, Germany and China.
How recipients can collect the money depends on the country: in cash, into a bank account or into a digital wallet. In China, for example, transfers to WeChat wallets are available. One important detail: recipients do not need a Halyk account.
Money can be sent in dollars or euros. If another currency is needed, the amount is converted into the selected currency. Depending on the destination and how the money is received, it may be available within minutes.
What this means
Customers can send up to $9,999 or €7,000 per transfer. They can make up to two transfers a day, subject to the set limits. These restrictions are worth keeping in mind when sending a large amount.
The service lists a 0.5% fee as its standard rate. The final fee, available destinations and delivery times depend on the specific transfer. Customers can check these in Halyk SuperApp before sending money.
How to send money
In Halyk SuperApp, open “Transfers” and select MoneyGram. Then enter the destination country, how the money will be received, the amount and the currency. Next, enter the recipient’s full name and any additional details required.
Before confirmation, the app shows the transfer details and fee. Once the money has been sent, the customer receives the transfer information and a reference number. If that number is needed to collect the money, it should be shared with the recipient.
raem.kz previously covered Halyk’s online salary advance and the Halyk app outage. No additional apps are needed for MoneyGram transfers: the process takes place in Halyk SuperApp.
