payments in national currency
Payments in national currency are executed by the bank based on payment orders made by the customer (on paper or electronically via internet banking), in NORMAL or URGENT mode both in favour of the bank's customers (intrabank payments) and in favour of other banks' customers (interbank payments).
URGENT payments shall be executed within 25 minutes of receipt of the payment order via the internet banking system and within 40 minutes of receipt, verification and scanning of the paper payment order. The deadline for urgent transfers may be extended if the payment order does not meet all the necessary processing conditions, following the bank's internal regulations.
Advantages:
- speed of execution of money transfers;
- confidentiality of transactions;
- possibility to track the status of payment orders via remote banking systems.
payments in foreign currency
The bank shall execute payments in foreign currency made by its customers on the same day they are received and accepted, with the currency date according to the terms and conditions set out in the agreements concluded with the correspondent banks through which the respective payments are processed.
Payments shall be made within the limit of the available funds in the customer's current account, indicated in the payment order in foreign currency, in compliance with the provisions of the foreign exchange regulations of the statute and bank regulations.
As a rule, payments in foreign currency shall be made by the bank upon presentation of supporting documents by the customer, which attest to the necessity of the payment and contain data on the payment amount.
Payments can be made in any foreign currency the bank operates and transferred via the SWIFT international payment system to almost any country.
Payments received in favour of the bank's customers shall be recorded in their accounts on the day the funds are received in the bank's correspondent accounts without the commission being charged.
Payments by conversion allow the customer to make payments in foreign currency from the current account in a currency other than the transfer currency. This facility enables the customer to make payments directly by converting the currency of the payment account without submitting a foreign exchange request.

scheduled payments
Scheduled payments are payments made by the bank on behalf of and for the customer's account, on specific dates and in fixed amounts, under a mandate agreement, to settle contractual or other obligations of the payer to counterparties.
The following services related to scheduled payments are performed within the bank for legal entities:
- the "MAIB-PAY" service - fixed payments on pre-determined dates;
- MAIB-SWEEP service - scheduled transfer of amounts (within the balance limit) between own accounts;
Beneficiaries of scheduled payments can be mobile phone operators, utility providers, leasing companies, budget (if the amount and frequency of payments are known), etc.
Advantages:
- saving time and resources when making regular payments;
- efficiency in the execution of payment transfers;
- lower costs compared to the costs of regular payments.
Multiple payments (bundled payments) are payments made by the bank's customer to several payees by forming a single electronic document. Beneficiaries of payments can be legal or natural persons, customers of maib or other banks.
Bundled payments can only be issued via internet banking, made in national currency and must contain only ordinary payments.
Bundled payments may not be issued for payment of taxes and duties or with entities serviced at the State Treasury.
A bundled payment may have only one purpose/purpose for all indicated beneficiaries. For example: purchase of goods, provision of services, payment of other obligations related to current activity.
Advantages:
- possibility to define and maintain a list of counterparties (beneficiaries) without having to enter them for each payment;
- lower costs of executing payments;
- speed (reduced time) in making payments (the time to complete and authorise payments in a bundle is much less than the time to complete each payment).
Delegate payments with the direct debit service from maib
We understand how important it is for a business to meet payment deadlines for partners, suppliers, and others. Timely payments bring stability and security to your business workflow and reinforce the value of the commitments made. We are pleased to introduce a truly valuable service for businesses - direct debit.
This is a convenient and efficient solution for managing payments in national currency between business partners.
Benefits of direct debit:
- Convenience: the payer does not need to worry about making manual payments, saving time and effort, while the beneficiary receives payments without delays.
- Time saving: reduces the time managing payments, allowing for multiple payments to be processed remotely and simultaneously.
- Security: decreases the risks related to non-payments or payment delays.
- Transparency: customers can track and manage payments through their account statements.
This service operates based on a three-party mandate signed between the Beneficiary, the Bank, and the Payer, allowing for debiting the payer’s account in favour of the beneficiary, provided that both parties are maib customers.
How the process works:
- The customer signs the direct debit service commitment in exchange for a monthly payment according to the rates in force.
- The customer signs the direct debit mandate with its partners, who are maib customers.
- Periodically or on demand, the customer sends payment orders to maib (whether it is a single transaction or several).
- On the same day the amount specified in the direct debit order is debited from the payer's account and credited to the Beneficiary's account.
We encourage you to request the direct debit service by calling 1314.
