Why did Zolotaya Korona stop money transfers to Georgia and what are alternative ways to send money there?

Based on 2 discussions with 4 participants · Last activity: 14 days ago

TL;DR

On July 24, 2026, Georgia suddenly disappeared from Zolotaya Korona's country list, even though transfers were working the day before. No official explanation or timeline for restoration has been given, and no confirmed alternative transfer methods were shared.

What the community said

One user complained that transfers now require SMS confirmation, meaning they'd need to activate roaming on a Georgian phone number — this requirement wasn't there before.

One user shared their Kwikpay experience: a transfer of about 450 GEL in April went through fine, but a transfer sent on July 24 was lost. Support doesn't respond to emails, over the phone they said to check with the receiving bank, and Kredo Bank confirmed no transaction had arrived.
