What to know when transferring a large amount of money to a Georgian bank account (TBC and others)?

TL;DR
Georgian banks may ask for proof of funds origin on large transfers — bring documents in advance. If a transfer goes missing, get the real sender details from your home bank and bring them to the Georgian bank to trace the payment.
What the community said
When depositing large amounts into a Georgian bank account (e.g. TBC Bank), the bank may request documents proving the source of funds. It's best to prepare these in advance to avoid being caught off guard at the branch.

If a transfer from your home bank hasn't arrived at TBC Bank, contact your home bank and request the details of the actual sending correspondent bank. Then bring those details to TBC Bank to trace the missing transfer.

The same applies to transfers from other banks: if the money hasn't arrived at TBC, ask your sending bank for the actual correspondent sender details, then use those at TBC to locate the transfer. Ultimately, tracing a lost transfer is the responsibility of the bank that provided the service.
