French GuianaEUREuro
An overseas department of France in South America: EUR, French IBAN, EU sanctions regime — just like in Paris. Guiana lies between Brazil and Suriname, but transfers must be made as to Europe: EUR, IBAN FR. From Russia — with route coordination through an ATM24 manager. Commission from 0.9%.
The route, the receiving bank and the payout amount are agreed before payment.
The official currency is EUR; the territory has no currency of its own. French Guiana is a full overseas department and region of France, part of the European Union and the eurozone, so French law applies in full. International transfers use French-format bank details: IBAN FR and bank SWIFT/BIC — the same format as in France. EU sanctions packages against Russia apply to French Guiana as they do to mainland France, so the ability to transfer depends on the recipient bank, correspondent chain, and compliance checks. The banking sector is represented by branches of French banking groups; there are virtually no independent local banks. The capital and main administrative center is Cayenne. French Guiana is also known for the Kourou Space Centre — the launch site of the European Space Agency; proximity to the equator makes launches from here particularly efficient.
The official language is French; Guianese Creole is also common in everyday use. The territory operates on UTC−3 time zone, so Cayenne is 6 hours behind Moscow; the recipient bank's working hours fall in the afternoon and evening by Moscow time. ATM24 checks the recipient bank, compliance, and available route before confirming the request. International SWIFT transfer time is 2–5 business days. ATM24 commission is from 0.9%.
Cards in French Guiana are standard French cards: the same payment systems and rules as in mainland France. Branches of French banking groups operate here. You will need 16 card digits and the cardholder's name in Latin characters. Compliance here is European: the possibility of crediting is confirmed before payment
The account here is the same as in France: IBAN format FR plus the bank's SWIFT code. You need the recipient's IBAN, their bank's SWIFT code, and name in Latin characters. Specify the payment purpose clearly — EU banks may request supporting documents. Route verification must follow EU rules, not South American country rules
EUR cash withdrawal: the department is small, and life is concentrated along the coast. Cayenne is the capital and main city; Kourou is known for its space centre, Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni is on the border with Suriname. Interior districts of the department are occupied by tropical rainforest with virtually no infrastructure. Agree on the city for withdrawal and available amount before submitting your request
Bank details for French Guiana are identical to French ones: IBAN format FR, bank SWIFT code, and recipient name in Latin characters. Currency is not an issue — the currency here is EUR. However, there is a key consideration: the territory is part of the EU, and EU sanctions packages against Russia apply in full, and European banks may request documents regarding incoming payments from Russia. Therefore, specify the payment purpose clearly, and confirm the route before payment: we respond to requests within 15 minutes.
