How much does it cost for a foreigner to open a bank card at Credobank in Tbilisi, and how to transfer money into Georgia?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 10 days ago
TL;DR
A standard debit card at Credobank is officially listed as 0 GEL, but there's a separate service fee for expats detailed in the app's info tooltip. For sending money into Georgia, Multitransfer currently works as a card-to-card USD transfer, which you then convert to GEL yourself.
What the community said
Sending money directly in GEL (cash or card) via Multitransfer doesn't seem to work right now. The working method is a card-to-card transfer in USD, then converting USD to GEL yourself afterward.

In the Credobank app, the standard card shows a price of 0 GEL, but next to it there's an info icon (i) with additional details — it specifies a separate service fee specifically for expat cardholders, worth checking before applying.

No one in the chat gave an exact fee amount for opening a Credobank card as a foreigner — it's recommended to check the exact figure via the same info icon in the bank's app when selecting a card plan.
