The Post of Russia and the Qiwi payment system plan to create a joint money transfer service. Users of the new service will be able to send money through Qiwi terminals, receiving cash at the post office the next business day.

The system will work through Visa Qiwi Wallet. When sending a transfer, the user must enter his phone number, as well as the pin code of the virtual wallet. Plus, you must specify the details of the recipient of funds. The maximum amount of funds that can be sent at one time, will be 15 thousand rubles, writes "Kommersant". The restriction is established by the law “On Counteracting Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism”.

The fee for the transfer of funds is small, and is 2%, plus 60 rubles. The scheme of calculating the shares of partners in the division of the total income of the service was not disclosed.

According to the Deputy General Director of the Post of Russia for financial business, Vladimir Slakhutdinov, working together with Qiwi is an excellent option, since the payment system has an extensive network of terminals. In addition, the Post of Russia does not have a corresponding license, but there is a large number of its own branches in various localities of the Russian Federation.

“We have 42 thousand branches, Qiwi has more than 100 thousand terminals, that is, together we cover the maximum possible number of points of sending and payment of remittances,” says Vladimir Slakhutdinov.
