Which bank is best in Batumi to open an account or receive a money transfer?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 11 days ago
TL;DR
TBC Bank is generally preferred over Credo by foreigners: you can open a card and receive transfers directly, often at a better exchange rate than through money transfer services. Currency exchange points are everywhere in town, and there's a TBC ATM/branch at Egnate Ninoshvili St, 6.
What the community said
It's easier to open a TBC bank card and receive money directly on it — the exchange rate can be better than sending via money transfer systems like Zolotaya Korona.

You don't need to get a local card in advance — just bring the card you already have, as there are plenty of currency exchange points in Batumi. TBC Bank is better than Credo, but you'll need a local SIM card, which is worth keeping for yourself.
