How quickly is my international transfer processed?

Here you can read about when international transfers are processed.

Updated over a week ago

Outgoing international payments via SEPA and SWIFT are typically delivered within 1โ€“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 โ€“ 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.
