OUR – the customer pays the commission of JSC “Rietumu Banka” and correspondent bank commission. If the intermediary bank and/or beneficiary bank charges additional commission related to the payment, JSC “Rietumu Bank” withdraws required commission from the customer’s account without further authorization. In some cases, correspondent bank and/or beneficiary bank does not take into account the instructions of JSC “Rietumu Banka”, therefore the commission of these banks may be charged from the payment’s amount.
SHA – the customer pays JSC “Rietumu Bank” fees. The beneficiary pays the commissions of intermediary banks and beneficiary bank related to the payment.
BEN – the beneficiary pays JSC “Rietumu Bank” and other banks’ fees involved in the transfer process. The commission is deducted from the payment amount. The minimum payment amount is EUR 200 or the equivalent in another currency.
1) Payments within the European Economic Area (EEA)* in EUR and in national currencies of EEA member states are executed with SHA charge only.

If BEN or OUR charge is indicated in the payment order, JSC “Rietumu Bank” is entitled to change it to SHA.
2) Payments outside the EEA do not include payments to the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus.
3) Payments in EUR and other currencies of EEA member states outside the EEA are made with charge type OUR or SHA; payments with BEN charge are NOT executed.
