What you need from your supplier
The beneficiary’s full legal name
Exactly as their bank holds it: the company name for a business, not a trading name.
Their address
Street, town and country.
Account number
Tajikistan does not use the IBAN, so the local account number is what identifies the account.
The bank’s SWIFT/BIC code
8 or 11 characters. Use the code the supplier gives you; the head-office code works if you only know the bank.
What the payment is for
An invoice number or a short description. Some payments need a supporting document such as the invoice.

Sending money to Tajikistan: questions
- How long does a business payment to Tajikistan take?
- A SWIFT payment typically takes 1 to 3 working days, depending on the currency and the banks in the chain. Payments instructed after the daily cut-off, at a weekend or on a holiday start on the next working day. Timings are typical, not guaranteed; the payment calendar shows value dates.
- How much does it cost to send money to Tajikistan?
- On the MENA plan a SWIFT payment out costs 0.25%, min €25.00, and banks in the SWIFT chain may deduct charges of their own. Converting currency costs 0.5%. Every fee and the rate are shown before you confirm.
- Which currency should I pay a supplier in Tajikistan in?
- TJS isn’t one of our payout currencies, so pay in US dollars or euros. If the supplier’s account is held in TJS, their bank converts the payment at its own rate; ask which currency their account is in before you send.
- What details do I need from the supplier?
- The beneficiary’s name and address, their account number and their bank’s SWIFT/BIC code. Tajikistan doesn’t use the IBAN.
- Will I need to send documents?
- Sometimes. Depending on the destination and the amount, we may ask for an invoice or another supporting document before a payment is released, and the recipient’s bank may ask your supplier for the same. Keeping the invoice number in the payment reference helps both.
- Can a business based in Tajikistan open an account?
- Yes, Tajikistan is not on our list of markets we can’t serve, so a business based there can apply, subject to KYC/KYB review. Onboarding hasn’t opened yet: join the waiting list and we’ll contact you when it does.
