For the transaction, the Post will take a commission, the amount of which will be determined depending on the amount of the transfer and additional services (address delivery, receipt by notification, etc.).

If this is not too convenient, then the address mark is not put. And then the issuance of money will be made in the branch of the institution where the addressee of the transfer will apply.
