🏦 Exceptions in bank transfer processing times
Most banks that support EUR manual bank transfers usually settle transactions within 10-20 minutes. However, there are exceptions; in certain cases, these transfers may take longer, spanning 1-2 business days.
Some banks might require a longer period of 6-8 business days for settlement. Additionally, European bank payments conducted through SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area), operate on 5-6 settlement sessions throughout the day. It's worth noting that not all banks utilize every session for processing payments.
Transactions made before noon typically settle on the same day, whereas those made in the late afternoon or evening are usually processed on the following business day. Payments conducted over the weekend are generally processed the next business day, contingent upon individual bank policies.
Furthermore, some banks treat manual bank transfers as international transactions, requiring a full two working days for completion.
💳 Supported credit and debit cards
We accept only Visa and Mastercard for both credit and debit cards. This also applies to Apple Pay - make sure the card linked to these services is a Visa or Mastercard.
Unfortunately, we do not support cards from American Express, Diners Club, or any other issuers at this time. This restriction also applies to the underlying cards used for payment services such as Apple Pay.
❗ Important Notices
Bank accounts and cards MUST be owned by and under the same name as the user making the purchase. This is crucial to ensure your transactions go through without any issues.
Sometimes transactions can experience unexpected delays. If your transaction is taking longer than the times mentioned in this article, check the possible reasons for this.
