Information for contributors from the euro-zone

We have received messages saying that, in order to send money to the Fund's foreign currency account, some European banks requested the IBAN of the beneficiary.  Here is what can be said on this issue:
IBAN is an international number of the beneficiary's account in EU countries and some other states (like Kazakhstan). In Russia, this standard is not valid yet, so Sberbank does not assign this number.

As far as the SWIFT is concerned, the correct one for our region is SUBRUMMVH1.

It should be made clear to the bank clerk that you want to transfer funds to Russia, which is outside the EU. You must fill in a specific form for that.

The approximate equivalents are:

Instead of BIC, you should provide the information from Account with institution.
Instead of IBAN, you should provide the information from Веneficiary customer.
