How quickly is my international transfer processed?

Here you can read about when international transfers are processed.

Updated over 10 months ago

Outgoing international payments via SEPA and SWIFT are typically delivered within 1–2 business days if the payment is created before 1:00 PM. Payments created after 1:00 PM are processed the next business day and may therefore take correspondingly longer.

For payments via local bank transfers, the money may often arrive within seconds, minutes, or hours – but in some cases, it can take up to a few days, depending on the destination and recipient bank.

There may be situations where a payment requires manual processing by Lunar, correspondent banks, or the recipient bank, which can extend the processing time.
