He said that as compared with the first half of 2011, the number of transactions grew by 34%, while the volume of the transfers remained unchanged.
Arevyan said that over the first half of 2012 the share inflow of transfers totaled 80%, and the outflow - 20%.
He recalled that the Anelik system unites 63 thsd points in almost 100 countries. "One can say that the tariffs of transfers via Anelik are the most attractive in the CIS, though they have not changed over year", he said. Thus, for RUR the tariffs range from 0,5-0,9%, and for the rest of currencies the tariffs depend on the amount of the transfers.

Anelik Bank was the first Armenian bank to create its own international money transfer system "Anelik" in 1997. The system operates in 500 banks of almost 100 countries.
