How can I get paid from abroad in Podgorica?

A global payment account gives you account details in currencies such as USD, EUR or GBP, so clients and marketplaces can pay you locally in their country. You then convert to EUR and withdraw.

What does it cost to convert to EUR?

Costs are the conversion margin plus any withdrawal fee to your local bank in Montenegro. Compare both, as they vary a lot between providers.

Who regulates international bank accounts & e-wallets in Podgorica?

Providers serving customers in Montenegro fall under Central Bank of Montenegro (CBCG). Banks are licensed by the Central Bank of Montenegro under the Law on Banks, and payment institutions and e-money issuers need CBCG authorisation under the payment system laws. Montenegro is not an EU member, so there is no EU/EEA passporting: every provider serving Montenegrin customers needs its own local authorisation. Confirm the licence on the CBCG's registers.

Who uses global payment accounts in Podgorica?

Freelancers, remote workers, online sellers and small exporters in Podgorica use them to receive foreign income without opening bank accounts abroad.

International Bank Accounts & e-Wallets in Podgorica: what to know

Global payment accounts help people in Podgorica, Montenegro get paid by clients, marketplaces and platforms in other countries, then convert the money into EUR (Euro (Montenegro uses the euro unilaterally without being an EU or eurozone member and has no say in eurozone monetary policy)).

Currency in Montenegro: EUR · Euro (Montenegro uses the euro unilaterally without being an EU or eurozone member and has no say in eurozone monetary policy)
Regulator in Montenegro: Central Bank of Montenegro (CBCG)(opens in a new tab)
Local accounts in Montenegro: Montenegrin accounts use the IBAN (ME + 2 check digits + 3-digit bank code + 13-digit account number + 2 check digits, 22 characters in total); the 22-character IBAN is the standard reference for interbank transfers.
Payments in Montenegro: The CBCG operates the large-value (RTGS) and interbank payment clearing systems for domestic euro payments, and the interbank card switch handles domestic card transactions. Because Montenegro is outside the EU and SEPA, cross-border euro transfers do not benefit from SEPA treatment: they are routed over SWIFT through the banks' correspondents (largely Italian, Serbian and regional banks), so fees and delivery times can resemble those for non-euro markets despite the shared currency.

Before you sign up in Podgorica
