In Kyrgyzstan, a commission of up to 1.5% has been introduced for receiving transfers in rubles.
It is important to note that this percentage is not the cost of the transfer itself, but represents an additional service fee set by the organizations making the payments. Transfers in US dollars are not subject to this new regulation.
NoteThe company Astrasend holds leading positions in the money transfer market in Kyrgyzstan. During the second quarter of 2025, their system processed 2.2 million incoming transactions totaling 43.1 billion soms, which accounts for more than half of the total volume of transfers.
