Then these companies can use all banking services rendered by MBB just like Russian companies.

In first method, the exporter asks his own bank (or MBB) to approach buyer's/importer's bank and ask for converting the proceeds to Iranian Rial to be subsequently transferred to the exporter's IRR account with any Iranian bank. MBB will then convert foreign currency to Iranian Rial and transfer the Rial equivalent to the beneficiary's IRR account. The exchange rate will be according to prevailing rates. In second method, the exporter Should ask for receiving the proceeds in foreign currency (Euro or Russian Rubles), he should approach his own bank or MBB and ask these funds to be transferred to any of his FX accounts in any Iranian bank and his request will swiftly be dealt with.
BMI board Member added;" Exporters can assign the FX proceeds available in their accounts which are received from abroad to other people or remit them abroad according to the rules and regulations of the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran."
