Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about Czech koruna (CZK) transfers.
Sending to CZK
Who can I send CZK to?
You can send CZK to any bank account in the Czech Republic.
What information do I need about my recipient?
You’ll need to know their full name and bank account number. In the Czech Republic, their bank account number can be either:
-
a local bank account, made up of an optional prefix (6 digits), an account number (10 digits), and a bank code (4 digits)
-
an IBAN, usually 24 digits long, starting with CZ, and made up of a mix of numbers and letters
If you’re sending to a business or government authority, they may ask you to include a 10 digit variable or specific “symbol” reference which they use to identify your payment. If you’ve been asked for this, include it in the reference field for the transfer when setting it up on Wise.
How much can I send?
You can send up to 25 million CZK per transfer.
How long does it usually take for the money to arrive?
Once Wise receives and converts your money, it usually takes 1 working day 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.
