PalauUSDUS Dollar
Palau has no currency of its own: transactions are conducted in US dollars, so the exchange rate on this corridor is not negotiable. The difference from neighboring Pacific nations is elsewhere—Palau lives on tourism and diving, so cards are accepted more widely here than on remote atolls in the region. Banks and cash-out points are concentrated in Koror, the country's main city.
The route, the receiving bank and the payout amount are agreed before payment.
The official currency is the US dollar (USD); the country does not issue its own national currency. Palau is an island nation in the western Pacific Ocean in free association with the United States, so the dollar is used in everyday and banking transactions. The country's economy is largely based on tourism and diving, particularly around the Rock Islands; Palau is also known for being among the first in the world to implement large-scale national shark protection. Card payments are widely accepted in the tourism sector, which simplifies the use of funds after credit. The capital is Ngerulmud, a specially built administrative center with a very small population, while the main banking, commercial, and business activity is concentrated in Koror. Therefore, banking details and recipient service points are usually associated with Koror. IBAN format is not used in Palau: for international SWIFT transfers, you typically need the bank's SWIFT/BIC code, account number, and recipient's full name.
Palau has not imposed its own sanctions against Russia, but any specific transfer depends on the recipient bank, correspondent chain, and standard AML/KYC checks. The official languages are Palauan and English, so banking details are usually processed in English and using Latin characters. Palau operates on UTC+9 time zone, 6 hours ahead of Moscow. ATM24 verifies the available route in advance before confirming the application. International SWIFT credit takes 2–5 business days. ATM24 commission starts from 0.9%.
The tourism economy keeps the card network active year-round. You need the 16-digit card number and the cardholder's name as shown in their document. Card currency is only one—US dollars. The possibility of crediting to the card is confirmed in advance
Details are brief: the bank's SWIFT code, account number, and recipient's name. The name is written in English, exactly as shown in the recipient's document. Verify the bank name from the recipient's statement, not by ear. The route to the bank is checked before sending money
Cash withdrawal in the country's main city, where banks are located. Koror is Palau's business center; the capital Ngerulmud is nearly deserted. Remote islands in the archipelago have no branch offices. The amount for withdrawal is agreed upon when the application is submitted
When submitting a transfer to Palau, provide the recipient bank's SWIFT code, account number, and name in English; Palau does not use IBAN format. The exchange rate is not negotiable—the country operates on US dollars. Palau has not imposed sanctions against Russia. The only thing worth clarifying in advance is which bank serves the recipient: options on the islands are limited, and the choice determines the route.
