Bazarova noted that any citizen of Turkmenistan can apply for the new international bank cards.

Bazarova said the cards can only be replenished in foreign currency and that customers are not required to provide information on the origin of the deposited funds.

The representative of the Bank also emphasized that the card account can be replenished both in cash and with transfer of funds from other foreign currency accounts.

“The possibilities of both cards are the same. You can daily withdraw $200 in cash from them. The bank charges 1.75% fee for the withdrawal. But there are no limitations with cashless payments,” Bazarova added.
