      How to send money to Lithuania

      How To Step Icon
      Step 1
      Study the competition, register
      Study the competition, register
      Most of the prominent international money transfer companies give their customers the ability to send money to Lithuania. As a result, selecting the best alternative requires that you compare your options well.
      Once you choose a company, sign up as an individual or a business.
      The information you need to provide might include details from an acceptable form of identity document.
      How To Step Icon
      Step 2
      Assess exchange rates, set up your transfer
      Assess exchange rates, set up your transfer
      Find out if it is a suitable time to send money to Lithuania by examining the recent performance of EUR exchange rates.
      The first step in setting up your transfer is getting a rate quote from your service provider. The amount you wish to send might have an effect on the offered rate.
      If you accept the quote, your service provider locks the rate, and you get some time to send your payment across.
      This is when you need to provide the recipient's Lithuanian bank account details.

      Step 3
      Making the payment, tracking the transfer
      Making the payment, tracking the transfer
      Payment methods tend to vary, and this essentially depends on your service provider and where you live. Make your payment using any of the methods on offer.
      Your service provider will transfer money to Lithuania once it gets your payment. You get to know of the estimated turnaround time in advance.
      Tracking your transfer is typically easy - either through email/text notifications or by checking your service provider's website/app.

      Currency Symbol and Swift Codes

      What currency is used in Lithuania? The Lithuanian litas (LTL) served as the currency of Lithuania until January 2015, when it was replaced by the euro (EUR). While the transition from the litas to the euro was due to take place in January 2007, the process was delayed because of the economic crisis coupled with high inflation.

      When sending money to a Lithuanian bank account, you will need o the bank’s SWIFT code. Here are SWIFT codes of some popular bank in Lithuania.

      BANKBRANCHSWIFT CODE
      SEB BankVilniusCBVILT2XXXX
      Swedbank ABVilniusHABALT22XXX
      Luminor Bank ABVilniusAGBLLT2XXXX
      Siauliu Bankas ABSiauliaiCBSBLT26XXX

       

      Case Study

      Arnas had been out of work for around six months and was having trouble keeping up with his finances. As a result, he decided to ask his brother Lukas, who lived in the UK, for some monetary help. Lukas was more than willing to send him some money and they figured that around £3,000 would do the trick.

      While Lukas could use the services of various banks in the UK, he decided to compare them with some specialist money transfer companies. The corresponding table shows you how the best from both realms fared against each other.

       BANKMONEY TRANSFER SERVICE
      Exchange rateGBP 1 = EUR 1.0718GBP 1 = EUR 1.1205

      Transfer time2 to 5 days1 to 2 days
      Transfer optionsBank accountBank account
      Difference of EUR 165.39

      By selecting the money transfer company over the bank, Lukas ensured that Arnas received a little extra money. Besides, the money got to Arnas sooner that it would have had Lukas used the bank.

      Safety Tips for Picking Up Cash in Lithuania

      While crime levels in Lithuania are typically low, there have been instances of violent crimes such as muggings. Petty crimes such as bag snatching and pickpocketing tend to take place in crowded bars and restaurants as well as on public transportation. Remain vigilant around the Vilnius train station and when using public transportation, especially if approached by a group of strangers seeking help.

      Foreigners may be targeted in thinly populated areas after dark. Do not leave your handbags or coats unattended in clubs, pubs, and bars. Do not leave your food or drink unattended, and do not accept food or drinks from strangers. Do not leave your belongings in parked vehicles, and park your vehicle in secure areas when possible.

      Regulations When Transferring Money To and From Lithuania
