Cash transfers

We accept cash for sending to a recipient on demand — at a customer centre, post office, or to a specified address in Latvia. And you don’t need a payment account to make a transfer.

You can also send cash to Georgia, Italy, the Czech Republic, as well as to Armenia, Moldova, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan.

Domestic cash transfers

Domestic payments

Pay between partners who use PNS or who have accounts with any bank in Latvia.

You can make a cashless transfer at the customer centre or post office where your account is held, to the account of another business or private individual in Latvia.

We send the money the same day, helping you avoid the limits on cash transactions. And we make sure your payment remains completely confidential.

Pay for the service by bank transfer

You can pre-pay for a cash transfer by making a bank transfer in advance. Then simply present a copy of the bank-confirmed payment order at the customer centre or post office. Payments are accepted in EUR only.

Prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing

Know your client

As a payment institution, just like banks and other financial institutions, Pasts has a duty to apply the “Know Your Customer” principle in line with regulatory requirements.

The purpose of the “Know Your Customer” principle is to ensure a safe environment and to prevent potential risks of money laundering and terrorist financing. To achieve this, all participants in the FCMC market — including Pasts — are required to obtain information about their customers and the origin of their funds.
