MyanmarMMKMyanmar Kyat
Myanmar's currency is the kyat, and the main feature of this direction is not the currency itself, but the currency regime: the official rate of the central bank and the real exchange rate in the country differ, so a reference rate from the internet tells you little about how much the recipient will actually receive. Add international restrictions on some banks—and you'll understand why the route here is confirmed before payment.
The route, the receiving bank and the payout amount are agreed before payment.
The national currency is the Myanmar kyat (MMK). The country's currency regime remains strictly regulated: the Central Bank of Myanmar sets the official rate and rules for foreign currency circulation, while the official and actual market rates can differ significantly. Therefore, in an international transfer, what matters is not only the amount in MMK but also the conversion rate applied by the bank. Myanmar has strict restrictions on foreign currency operations, and a number of local banks and financial organizations are subject to international sanctions, so the availability of a specific bank and correspondent route must be checked separately for each application. The country's capital has been Naypyidaw since 2005, but Yangon remains the main business and banking center. IBAN format is not used in Myanmar: for international SWIFT transfers, you typically need the bank's SWIFT/BIC code, account number, and recipient's full name.
Burmese script does not use Latin characters, so the recipient's name and bank name for international payment are best taken directly from banking documents in English. A separate practical feature is the treatment of damaged US dollars: damaged, torn, heavily creased, or marked banknotes may not be accepted in exchange. The official language is Burmese. Myanmar operates on an unusual time zone UTC+6:30 and is 3.5 hours ahead of Moscow. ATM24 checks the recipient bank, sanctions status, and available correspondent chain in advance before confirming the application. International SWIFT transfer time is 2–5 business days if a route is available. ATM24 commission is from 0.9%.
Card networks operate in major cities; availability depends on the bank. You need the card number and cardholder's name in Latin characters. The amount in kyat is visible in the application before payment. Whether the card of a specific bank is suitable is checked in advance
IBAN format is not issued here: the recipient is found by SWIFT code and account number. Name and bank name are taken from banking documents in Latin characters. Some banks in the country are unavailable due to international restrictions. ATM24 checks the availability of a specific bank before sending money
Kyat in hand in cities where bank branches operate. Main locations are Yangon and Mandalay, Myanmar's business centers. The kyat remains the main method of payment: cards rarely work. How much you can withdraw at once is clarified when arranging the transfer
For Myanmar you need the recipient bank's SWIFT code, account number, and name in Latin characters; IBAN format is not used in the country. The key thing to understand in advance: the exchange rate here is not a single number—official and market rates differ, so the final amount in kyat is fixed in the application before payment. Some banks are subject to international restrictions, and the availability of a specific route is verified for each application.

Real stories from real people
Short version - everything's OK. Had doubts, didn't have many options, took the risk. The money was transferred, the rate is fine. I recommend: - Allow about 40 minutes for the operation so your phone doesn't die. - Banks often require SMS confirmation for transfers of certain amounts, so have your Russian card handy. Sometimes they can ban you for suspicious actions. - If you can, make sure short SMS messages arrive to your number abroad. Good luck to everyone

Bank-route examples for Myanmar: CB Bank, KBZ Bank, AYA Bank, Myanmar Credit Bureau Limited, and Myanmar Citizens Bank Ltd**.
A card or bank-account payout in Myanmar in MMK is possible only when the selected route supports it.

The minimum transfer amount to Myanmar in MMK through ATM24 starts from 100 USD or the equivalent. The maximum amount is confirmed before payment and depends on the Myanmar MMK payout route, sender payment method, bank, recipient details, and possible document requirements.

Bank-route examples for Myanmar: CB Bank, KBZ Bank, AYA Bank, Myanmar Credit Bureau Limited, and Myanmar Citizens Bank Ltd**.
