Sending money from Poland to Belarus? This corridor is subject to sanctions and is heavily restricted — below we explain what to consider.

⚠️ The Belarus corridor is subject to EU sanctions and is heavily restricted. Western Union suspended operations in Belarus in 2022 and the suspension remains in place, some Belarusian banks have been disconnected from SWIFT, and card payments involving certain banks are restricted in the EEA, including under Visa decisions. Availability and methods may change. Before attempting a transfer, check current availability with the provider and review the applicable sanctions restrictions; some transfers may not be processed.

Security — are funds protected during the transfer?

Funds in transit are not covered by a deposit guarantee — neither the Polish BFG nor a foreign DGS. Payment institutions use safeguarding (segregation of funds), which is different from a deposit guarantee. See also: bank vs EMI.
