Tirana, 16 November 2007 - The American Bank of Albania and the Albanian Post Office have formed a new partnership to facilitate the service of incoming fund transfers from abroad to Albania.

Now ABA in partnership with 541 outlets of the Albanian Post Office will send your money to any corner of Albania, even to the recipient’s home address.

This service facilitates the transfer of funds to Albania for only a 6 Euro transfer commission. Meanwhile, the recipient of the funds does not have to pay a commission. The funds are sent quickly and safely.

At this starting phase, the transfer of funds from abroad is available only for the neighboring country of Greece, wherefrom anyone wanting to send money can visit one of ABA’s 4 branches in Greece (i.e. Athens, Thessaloniki, Pireaus and Peristeri).

This service is available to everyone, be it customers or non-customers of the Bank. The recipient of the funds has the ability to withdraw their funds in any of ABA’s branches or agencies in Albania. Or in any of the 541 Albanian Post Office outlets spread throughout the country, everywhere ABA may not be present.

Moreover, the sender may choose to send the funds directly to the physical address of the receiver, meaning their home or office. This facility is very valuable especially in cases when the sender’s relatives (e.g. parents) may not be able to move as easily to withdraw the funds themselves.

When they receive the money, the recipient should have a form of identification e.g. a valid passport, ID card or birth certificate.

For further information, please visit any of ABA’s branches and agencies in Albania and Greece, or any of the Albanian Post Office outlets.
