North MacedoniaMKDMacedonian Denar
The currency in North Macedonia is the denar, and its rate is effectively pegged to the euro, so there are no sharp fluctuations on this route. However, there is a linguistic trap here: the country uses Cyrillic, and it seems natural to the sender to write the recipient's name in Cyrillic. However, bank details are filled in only in Latin characters.
The route, the receiving bank and the payout amount are agreed before payment.
The national currency is the Macedonian denar (MKD), which is divided into 100 deni. The denar rate has no formal hard peg; however, the National Bank of the Republic of North Macedonia's policy is effectively oriented toward maintaining stability relative to the euro, so the direction remains quite predictable in terms of currency risk. Bank transfers use IBAN in MK format; for international transfers, the bank's SWIFT/BIC code is also required. A separate practical consideration is language and script: Macedonian uses Cyrillic, but in international bank details, the recipient's first and last name must be specified in Latin characters exactly as shown in the bank statement or account details. North Macedonia is not a member of the European Union but is a candidate country and largely aligns with EU foreign policy and sanctions measures, so the availability of a specific transfer depends on the receiving bank, the correspondent chain, and the results of compliance checks; for large amounts, the bank may request the basis for payment and supporting documents. The main banking centers are Skopje, Bitola, Kumanovo, and Ohrid.
Official languages are Macedonian and Albanian. The country operates on UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer, so it is 2 hours behind Moscow in winter and 1 hour behind in summer. ATM24 checks the available route in advance before confirming the request. The timeframe for international SWIFT transfers is 2–5 business days. ATM24 commission is from 0.9%.
Card networks are well-developed, card acceptance in cities is widespread. You need the card number and cardholder name in Latin characters, as on the card itself. Credit in denars, exchange rate is shown in the request before payment. Whether the card route works is clarified in advance
Account number in European format, but the name must be strictly in Latin characters. You will need the IBAN, bank SWIFT code, and recipient name in Latin characters. Cyrillic spelling of the name will result in payment reversal. For a large amount, the bank may request the basis for payment
Cash withdrawal in the main centers of the country. Main locations - Skopje, Bitola, Kumanovo, Ohrid. The country is compact, the office is usually not far away. Available amount is confirmed when the request is submitted
For North Macedonia you need IBAN in MK format, the bank's SWIFT code, and the recipient's name from their bank statement. The denar rate is effectively tied to the euro, so the exchange is predictable. The country follows EU sanctions restrictions, and the route is confirmed before payment.

I’ve exchanged money in Thailand. It has taken about 20 minutes from the first message to getting cash in ATM. Thanks to manager Эмиль
Read full reviewEverything was great, they exchanged quickly. Manager Sofa did a great job!
Read full reviewAbout exchanging currency from SPB Tinkoff (T-bank) to dirham cash. Since I am in Dubai (today 16.06.2025) I was honestly afraid to exchange. I found someone’s article and there was a link to “trusted exchangers.” I moved to WhatsApp, we chatted. I exchanged 500 through the ATM. Everything was successful, but I still worried terribly. I communicated with manager Ekaterina. When I transferred the money, she wrote to me "waiting for confirmation from the recipient" and so for each stage. No commissions. You just enter 6 digits at the ATM and get the cash. It was my first time and only once so far, everything went well! I even asked AI about the company’s reliability))) AI replied that it’s reliable, provided facts from the web and reviews. That’s why I actually decided to send the money. Very glad that everything went well, thanks to whoever came up with this and to Ekaterina))
