MarTrust Crew Account Now Supports Transfers to Myanmar in Local Currency (MMK)
We’re pleased to announce that the MarTrust Crew Account now supports local currency transfers to Myanmar in Kyat (MMK) — giving your crew faster, cheaper, and more reliable access to their earnings.
What this means for your operations and crew:
✅ Faster transfers: Payments in MMK typically settle within three working days (often sooner), improving turnaround time for crew and their families.
✅ Lower costs: Sending in local currency eliminates intermediary bank fees — saving around USD $30 per transfer compared to USD payments.
✅ Simpler experience: Funds are received directly in MMK, reducing the need for manual currency conversion and ensuring a smoother experience for recipients.
Please note that all transfers remain subject to sanctions, AML, and regulatory checks, and availability may vary depending on specific cases.
This enhancement forms part of our ongoing commitment to supporting faster, safer, and more cost-effective crew payments, ensuring seafarers and their families can access funds more easily — wherever they are in the world.
