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

Paysend is an online money transfer platform that you can use 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from the comfort of your own home. This means that you don’t have to travel to a bank or remittance outlet and queue to send your money. You can do it all on your smartphone or laptop at all hours of the day or night - we have Paysend night mode to help you out if you’re more of a nocturnal person!

Sending money with Paysend is fast. How fast? Well, usually your money arrives within a few minutes. Sometimes it takes just a few seconds! So in the time it takes you to make a cup of tea or look at the weather forecast, your money should have arrived on the other side of the world!

Depending on where you’re sending your money, your recipient’s bank’s processing time may be slightly longer than ours (some companies aren’t quite as fast as us ??) so in extreme cases it can take up to three days.

Credit card to bank transfer: how it works, costs and speed

Here's the short answer: yes, you can use a credit card to get money into someone's bank account abroad. "Credit card to bank transfer" means exactly that — you fund the transfer with your credit card, and your recipient receives it in their bank account. Or on their card, in their wallet, or as cash to collect, depending on where they are.

The card and the bank account do different jobs. Your card pays for the transfer. A provider like Paysend then pays the money out through local systems on the other end. It's one flow, and it takes about a minute in the app.

One thing worth knowing before you start: a credit card is usually the most expensive way to fund a transfer. Some issuers treat it as a cash advance, and credit tends to carry higher payment fees than debit. You'll always see the full cost, exchange rate included, before you confirm anything. What follows is: the ways your money can arrive, what each one costs, how fast it gets there, and the cheaper routes worth checking first.

Gặp gỡ Pavel Štich: người giúp độc giả Séc và Slovakia gửi tiền về nhà

Mỗi tháng, hàng nghìn người làm việc tại Séc gửi một phần lương về nhà — nhiều người trong số đó là người Ukraine đang hỗ trợ gia đình ở bên kia biên giới. Và cách làm truyền thống lại khiến việc vốn đơn giản trở nên phức tạp hơn: chuyển khoản ngân hàng yêu cầu mã IBAN và SWIFT, phí chỉ hiện ra sau khi tiền đã được gửi đi, và nhiều ngày chờ đợi trong khi ai đó ở nhà đang trông chờ vào khoản tiền ấy.

Pavel Štich đã nhiều năm giúp độc giả của mình giải quyết đúng vấn đề này. Anh là Đồng sáng lập kiêm Tổng biên tập mảng tài chính tại Moneyo.cz — nền tảng độc lập của Séc chuyên so sánh các dịch vụ chuyển tiền, các công ty môi giới chứng khoán và các kênh đầu tư thay thế — đồng thời là Đại sứ Paysend, nghĩa là anh đích thân trải nghiệm mọi thứ mình giới thiệu, giải thích rõ ràng và mang đến cho độc giả những ưu đãi độc quyền. Chúng tôi đã hỏi anh về sự ra đời của Moneyo, ai là độc giả của trang, và vì sao anh chọn Paysend.
