OREANDA-NEWS. February 27, 2012. In the course of 2011 the turnover of the AVERS international money transfer system increased by nearly 48% compared to the same indicator of the previous year and amounted to over UAH 3.4 billion multi currency.

Within 2011 approximately 130 thousand transactions were carried out through the AVERS international money transfer system, totally worth UAH 1.904 billion.

In the framework of cooperation projects with 5 foreign money transfer systems, in 2011 the AVERS system paid out UAH 1.239 billion multi currency of money transfers from abroad, which is twice more compared to the same indicator of the previous year. Transfers from Ukraine through the partner systems made up over UAH 225 million multi currency.

According to Anna Ruzhynska, Head of Corporate Payment System Products Development and Sales at the international market: "The AVERS system is constantly developing which results in enhancing the quality and efficiency of servicing and expanding the geography of transfers. It was only last year when we concluded cooperation agreements with 10 agent banks, which allowed us to increase the number of AVERS agent locations by nearly 1,000 to reach 2,000 agent locations in Ukraine, the number of agent locations abroad grew to 100 thousand."

"There is a special discount system for our regular customers: customers can obtain a VIP-AVERS discount card and effect transfers of any amount at a fixed rate of 0.5% of the transfer amount", – says Mrs Ruzhynska.

"To recap, from the start of the year it is possible to make AVERS money transfers through the "Internet Bank" system of Finance and Credit Bank. The new feature for our individual customers is of great convenience as it does not require an obligatory presence of the customer in the bank outlet. The transaction is easy to perform just when connecting to the "Internet Bank" system", – Anna Ruzhynska added.

Keeping pace with the best practice of foreign colleagues, the AVERS system strives for broadening its outlook: it has already been three times that the system has become the organiser of one of the largest specialised events - the international conferences on "Markets for money transfers, bank metals and cash currency". As it has turned into tradition, specialists representing flagship Ukrainian and foreign companies gether together and join effort to determine the prospects for further development of markets for money transfers, bank metals, coins and cash currency, and to discuss new solutions in money transfers.
