Using Your Account
We move your money quickly, but timing depends on how you loaded funds. EFTs are faster, while wires may take 3-5 business days.
We want your transfer to get there fast. We’ll give you an estimated delivery time before you confirm the transaction. The exact timing depends on a combination of factors, including: Payment method: EFTs are quick, while wire transfers may take more time. The day and time you make your transfer matters: Your money moves during business banking hours, so transfers sent after hours or on holidays may take longer to complete. The countries where you are sending your funds: Every country has its own way of processing money. Currency conversions may take two or more business days, but they are usually much faster. Security checks: Sometimes we need to verify your information, which could include asking for your ID, address, source of funds, or an invoice. This extra step helps keep your money safe, though it may add some time to complete the transfer.
