  • Receiving money

How long does it take to receive money into a currency account?

How long it takes depends on the currency you receive.

Receiving USD

It takes 1 working day to receive a wire transfer, and 1–3 working days to receive money sent by ACH.

It usually takes 4–5 working days to receive money sent from outside the US, but it can take longer due to time differences, or multiple intermediary banks.

You can only receive international wire/SWIFT transfer to your USD account from the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Japan, Jersey, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, UK, and United Arab Emirates.

If the payment is sent from anywhere else the payment will be rejected.

Receiving EUR

It usually takes 1–2 working days to receive money from SEPA countries.

Receiving GBP

It usually takes seconds, sometimes up to 1 working day, to receive GBP.

Receiving AUD

Receiving NZD

Receiving PLN

Payments up to 10m HUF, will arrive in a few seconds. Payments above 10m HUF may take a bit longer — usually within a few hours on working days, or on the next working day during weekends.

You can only receive HUF from Hungary.

What if I haven’t received my money?

If you haven’t got the money within the timeframe specified for your currency, first check with the sender whether they used the correct account details.

If you’d like us to take a look, please send us a proof of payment so we can check it. This can be a receipt, bank statement, or a screenshot from an online bank showing:

  • sender’s name and account details

  • your name and account details

  • date they sent the money

  • amount they sent

We need to see all the above information in the one screenshot or document to be able to look into your problem.
