When you transfer money in GBP using the Faster Payments System, it usually takes 1 working day. Transferring money in Euros within the Single Euro Payments Area typically take 1 to 3 working days.

Note:

If you start a transfer on a Friday evening, a weekend, or public/bank holiday, it may not be processed by your bank until the next business day.

We are currently unable to accept transfers from WISE and C24 Bank GMBH, our team is currently working on making this payment method available in future. We recommend using an alternative bank account if you wish to place an order.
