This article explains how to send money from KAST to a local bank account in Romania. You'll learn what it costs, how long it takes, which recipient details you need, and what to do if something goes wrong.
How Does Sending Money to Romania Work?
KAST lets you send money directly to supported local bank accounts in Romania. Your money is delivered in the local currency, Romanian leu (RON), so your recipient does not need to convert anything.
The full cost and expected arrival time are shown in the app before you confirm. Availability depends on your account and region: if Romania or RON does not appear in your KAST Pay flow, it is not currently available for your account.
How Do I Send Money to Romania?
Follow these steps in the KAST app:
| 1. Open the KAST app. | |
| 2. Go to the Pay tab. | |
| 3. Under New Payment, select Instant Payout. | |
| 4. Choose RON as your payout currency. | |
|
5. Accept the Terms and Conditions, then tap Continue. 6. You may be asked to provide additional information or documents, such as your Tax Identification Number (TIN), Proof of Address (PoA), Source of Funds (SoF), or Social Security Number (SSN). |
|
| 7. Enter the amount you wish to send, tap Confirm. | |
|
8. Choose whether to transfer to your own account or to someone else, enter recipient’s details.
|
|
| 9. Review the details and confirm your transaction. |
Review all payout details in the app before confirming.
Once confirmed, the payout is sent for processing and may not be possible to cancel or change. You can track its status in Transaction History.
How Much Does It Cost to Send Money to Romania?
| Fee type | Amount |
|---|---|
| Percentage fee | 1% of the amount sent |
| Fixed fee | $2 |
You see the exact total before you confirm, so the amount you see is the amount you pay.
What Is the Minimum RON Payout Amount?
The minimum amount you can send is 10 RON.
The official payout documents show no fixed maximum limit for RON payouts, but your available limits may still depend on your account eligibility, payout corridor, supported payout rail, and applicable local requirements.
You’ll see the available amount, fees, and any limits or restrictions during the payout flow before you confirm.
How Long Does a RON Payout Take?
RON payouts are typically processed by the end of the day.
The expected arrival time is shown before you confirm. Payouts submitted outside banking hours, on weekends, or during public holidays may take longer. If your payout is delayed because of a weekend or public holiday, please wait until the next business day has passed before contacting KAST Concierge.
What Recipient Details Do I Need?
You need your recipient's local account details for a supported bank account in Romania. RON payouts use the SENT payout rail.
The recipient information required may include:
- Recipient name
- Bank name
- Local account details, such as an IBAN or account number
- Country of bank
- Beneficiary type, such as Individual or Business
- Purpose of transfer
- Additional information requested during the payout flow
The exact fields appear in the KAST Pay flow once you choose Romania (RON), so you are never guessing. Double-check all details before confirming: incorrect or incomplete details may delay the payout or cause it to be returned.
