How to send money from Russia to Bahamas: BSD or USD to a bank account via SWIFT

The route, the receiving bank and the payout amount are agreed before payment.

ATM24 arranges international transfers through available banking routes. IBAN format is not used in Bahamas: a transfer typically requires the bank's SWIFT/BIC, account number, and recipient's full name. The national currency is the Bahamian dollar (BSD), which is strictly pegged to the US dollar at a rate of 1 BSD = 1 USD, so there is no exchange rate risk between BSD and USD on the peg. Accounts in both BSD and USD are widely used in Bahamas.

Bank checks and transfer conditions

The country does not apply its own broad sanctions restrictions against Russia; however, local banks actively work through American correspondent banks, so international payments may pass through OFAC filters and additional AML/KYC checks. ATM24 clarifies the available route, receiving bank, and necessary documents in advance before confirming your application. ATM24 commission starts from 0.9%; the timeframe for international transfer depends on the chosen bank and correspondent chain.
