How long does it take to transfer money?
When dealing with money, nobody wants to spend time waiting around - we’ve all got better things to do than waste time with slow financial processes or waiting in queues. We could all be doing something much more productive and interesting!
This is especially true for money transfers. Some providers have painfully slow processes, and it sometimes seems that your money will never arrive!
Here are some of the factors that affect the speed of your transfer:
- Your transfer provider’s processing time
- The recipient bank’s processing time
- The destination for your money - certain countries may have different procedures for transfers
- Whether you and the recipient need to fill out forms at your sending or receiving institutions
- The payment method for sending and receiving - some methods may need additional time to clear before the funds can be accessed
- The time of day you want to send the money - some providers may only send their money at a set moment during the day, so not immediately
- The method you choose - if you have to travel and queue up before you can make the transfer
How can you speed up your transfers?
The simple way to make sure the transfer process is fast is by choosing the right provider to help you send money abroad.
Here are some of the criteria you should target to make sure that there won’t be any delays on your money’s journey:
- A simple transfer platform which is easy to use yourself from home
- Fast processing and settling times
- 24/7 availability for transfers
- Large network of global banking partners
- Excellent global reach, with lots of countries on the platform
