South Korea: KRW (Korean Won), 1 USD ~ 1,320-1,380 KRW (Bank of Korea 2024). No IBAN. KB Kookmin Bank (CZNBKRSE), Shinhan Bank (SHBKKRSE), KEB Hana Bank (KOEXKRSE). South Korea complies with UN sanctions and export controls; banks may be cautious — confirm the route with your ATM24 manager.

How to transfer money to South Korea

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

KRW to bank account via SWIFT. ATM24 conducts international transfers in South Korean Won (KRW) through available banking routes. IBAN format is not used in South Korea: for international transfers, you typically need the bank's SWIFT/BIC code, account number, and recipient's full name. Among the country's largest banks are KB Kookmin Bank (CZNBKRSE), Shinhan Bank (SHBKKRSE), and KEB Hana Bank (KOEXKRSE), which handle international transfers and correspondent settlements. The national currency is South Korean won (KRW) with a floating exchange rate; the 2024 reference rate was approximately 1 USD = 1,320–1,380 KRW, so it's best to check the current rate before transferring.

Bank checks and transfer conditions

South Korea enforces UN sanctions and has implemented its own export and financial restrictions regarding Russia since 2022, so it's not accurate to say there are no direct restrictions on financial operations. Any specific transfer depends on the receiving bank, correspondent chain, and AML/KYC checks. ATM24 verifies the available route before payment. ATM24 commission starts at 0.9%; international transfer time is 2–4 business days.

About 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))
