Guide to EUR transfers

Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about euro (EUR) transfers.

Check the latest fees

Sending to EUR

Who can I send EUR to?

You can send EUR to any SEPA country. You can also send EUR to countries outside of the SEPA zone, but this might cost more. 

What information do I need about my recipient?

You’ll need to know their full name and bank account number. In Europe, this is a code called an IBAN, and is between 14 and 34 digits long. Use our IBAN checker to make sure the IBAN you have is in the right format.

How much can I send?

You can send up to 6 million EUR per transfer.

Please keep in mind, if you want to send more than 1.2 million EUR, you’d need to transfer it from your Wise account. This means:

  1. You’ll need to open an account for the currency you want to convert from, and the currency to convert to (EUR).

  2. You’ll need to add money to your source currency account.

  3. You can instantly convert the money once it’s in your Wise account to EUR.

Once the conversion is done, you can simply withdraw your money from your Wise account.

How long does it usually take for the money to arrive?

Once Wise receives and converts your money, it usually takes 1–2 working days to arrive in your recipient’s bank account. Conversion can take up to 2 working days. 

We’ll always give you an estimate for how long your transfer will take when you set it up.

Sending from EUR

What types of transfers can I use to send EUR?

There are 4 different transfer types: Fast transfers, Easy transfers, Low Cost transfers, and transfers from your balance. 

Learn more about these types of transfers

How much can I send?

You can send up to 1.2 million EUR per transfer if you pay by bank transfer.

You can send up to*:

  • 10,000 EUR per transfer paying by card

  • 25,000 EUR paying by SOFORT

  • 50,000 EUR paying by iDEAL

  • 1.2 million EUR paying by Trustly

  • 2,500 EUR paying by PayPal

*Check the limits and restrictions on each page for details.

Businesses can send up to 6 million EUR per transfer, depending on how you pay. If you pay by card, the limit is lower — but you’ll only see the option to pay by card if you’re sending less than the limit. 

Where can I send from?

You can send EUR from any SEPA country. You can also send EUR from outside of the SEPA zone using SWIFT. 

How long does it usually take for the money to arrive?

It usually takes 1–2 working days for your money to get to Wise, depending on how you pay for your transfer. If you pay by SWIFT, it takes 2–5 working days. Then, we convert it and send it out. Conversion can take up to 2 working days. 

Check the guide for the currency you’re sending to, for an estimate on how long it will take to arrive in your recipient’s account after we send it out. 

I’ve cancelled my payment, how long will my refund take?

We’ll let you know when we’ve refunded your money. The time it takes for you to get your refund depends on how you paid,

  • Local bank transfers take 1–2 working days

  • SWIFT transfers take 2–5 working days

  • Trustly payments take 1–3 working days

  • SOFORT payments take up to 2 working days

  • iDEAL payments take 2–10 working days

  • Card payments take 2–10 working days

If you paid using either Trustly, SOFORT, or iDEAL, we’ll have to wait to receive your money before we can refund it back to you.

Make sure to wait until the above time frame has passed before getting in touch about a refund — we’re not able to speed up the process.
