    Customer Fees


    National Bank of Georgia (NBG) as the operator of the Automated Transfer and Electronic Settlement System (Real Time Gross Settlement and Clearing System), is responsible for developing and maintaining the system rules, ensuring participants’ access to the system, supporting its efficient  operation, and carrying out other related functions.

    The System is designed to process fund transfers between commercial banks, microbanks, and payment service providers in Georgian lari (GEL) and foreign currencies (US dollars and euros). It also facilitates transfers in Georgian lari to and from the State Treasury of the Ministry of Finance of Georgia.

    Participants using the System are subject to service fees. On business days, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:45 p.m., the applicable fees range from 10 to 20 tetri.

    In November 2022, amendments were introduced to the System rules governing transfers in Georgian lari. Subsequently, in October 2026, amendments were made to the rules governing transfers in foreign currencies.

    These amendments established maximum permissible service fee limits that participants may  charge their customers for transfers processed through the RTGS system. The limits are differentiated according to customer category (individuals, legal entities, and payment service providers) and transaction amount.
