Request for Payment (RFP)

What is Request for Payment?

Request for payment is a message that you could send via IBKR and its supporting bank to your bank to trigger a real-time credit transfer directly to your IBKR account. Your bank will prompt you via push notification or e-mail to review and approve the payment request. Upon receiving your approval, your bank will send a real-time credit transfer directly to IBKR's bank and IBKR will credit your account. Real-time payments are done on a new 24x7x365 payments platform managed by The Clearing House and available to all federally insured U.S. depository institutions.

Who is eligible to use Request For Payment?

Real-time payment eligibility depends on your bank's capability to accept the request. U.S. depository institutions are actively preparing to accept RFPs and most are expected to be able to accept requests in the coming months.

What is the transaction amount limit?

The request for payment limit is determined by your bank. Initially limits are expected to be modest (approximately $5,000 to $10,000), but are expected to increase in the future. The RTP network's current credit transfer limit is $1,000,000

How long does it take for the funds to be credited to my account?

Under normal circumstances you should receive the prompt to approve the request for payment and, upon approval, the funds would be credited to your account and available to trade within a few minutes or faster. 

 

How to deposit HUF to Interactive Brokers

What are Giro/RTGS (Viber) transfers and International Bank Transfers (SWIFT) for HUF?

There are two different transfer methods available for transferring HUF depending of the location of your bank.

GIRO/ RTGS VIBER (domestic) transfers are available at banks located in Hungary for bank-to-bank transfers while banks located outside of Hungary will likely offer International Bank Transfers (SWIFT).

Giro /RTGS (Viber) payments

The Hungarian Internal Clearing System (ICS) operated by GIRO Zrt. is a payment system for the interbank clearing of domestic HUF transfers and direct debits. It is a "Real Time Gross Settlement" system called VIBER.

Banks that are connected to it will allow you to transfer HUF quickly and inexpensively between banks located in Hungary. It will be required to know the Bank Code, Branch Code and Account number of the receiving party.

You do not necessarily have to select GIRO or RTGS (VIBER) in your online banking. Your bank may call it "Bank-To-Bank transfer"  or "domestic payment method" using the details mentioned above.

SWIFT payment

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication - SWIFT - is a network that allows banks to communicate financial information securely.

SWIFT payments are offered by most banks for international money transfers, and involve a series of banks which work together to make sure your money arrives at your account.

If you transfer HUF from a financial institution outside of Hungary, the payment would likely be routed via a correspondent bank located in Hungary before reaching your account. Such payments are known as cross-border payments and often take more time to complete because of the complexity associated with involving multiple banks.

Bank transfers can take time to complete, particularly when it comes to cross-border payments, because of the complexity associated with involving multiple bank in the payment chain.

Processing bank transfers involves a number of steps, particularly for cross-border payments. These are sent via the correspondent banking network and typically pass between several different banks along the way. After being initiated, a wire transfer is sent by the debtor agent to an intermediary bank before moving on to the creditor agent. Once these steps are complete, the recipient will receive their funds.

There are a number of reasons why cross-border payments may be delayed or held up. First, not all account balances can be updated outside of the operating hours of local settlement systems. Delays can also arise if compliance checks need to be carried out, especially when a payment passes through different countries and jurisdictions.

Difference between domestic and international bank transfers

Banks make a domestic transfer to send funds to financial institutions residing in the same country or financial zone. When sending funds to financial institutions in a foreign country or financial zone, banks have to make an international bank transfer. The differences between these two bank transfers affect the number of fees banks charge and the duration it takes to complete the transfer.

Warum sehe ich auf meinem Kontoauszug unter „Cash-Bericht“ einen internen Transfer zwischen Wertpapieren und Rohstoffen?

Aus regulatorischen Gründen ist IBKR dazu verpflichtet, in Ihrem Konto Wertpapier- von Rohstoff-Assets zu trennen.  Diese Rohstoff-Assets können den Marktwert von Optionen auf Futures-Positionen plus die Barmittel umfassen, die aufgrund der für Rohstoff-Futures und Optionen auf Futures-Positionen erforderlichen Margin benötigt werden.  Die Margin-Anforderungen für Ihre Rohstoff-Positionen werden regelmäßig neu berechnet. Sollten sie sinken, werden die Barmittel, die über die erforderliche Rohstoff-Margin hinausgehen, von der Rohstoff- auf die Wertpapierseite Ihres Kontos übertragen.  Sollte die Margin-Anforderung dagegen steigen, wird IBKR auf der Wertpapierseite Ihres Kontos verfügbare Barmittel entsprechend auf die Rohstoffseite überweisen.  Da nur die Assets auf der Wertpapierseite Ihres Kontos von der SIPC-Versicherung abgedeckt werden, jedoch nicht diejenigen auf der Rohstoffseite, wird diese regelmäßige Übertragung angewendet, damit Ihre Barmittel bestmöglich geschützt sind. Beachten Sie, dass es sich bei diesen Übertragungen um kontointerne Bewegungen handelt, die sich vollständig ausgleichen und somit keine Auswirkungen auf den Gesamtsaldo Ihres Kontos haben (siehe auf dem Kontoauszug die Spalte „Gesamt“ unter Cash-Bericht).

Für US-Microcap-Aktien geltende Beschränkungen

Einleitung
Um den Vorschriften hinsichtlich des Verkaufs von nicht registrierten Wertpapieren gerecht zu werden und den manuellen Bearbeitungsaufwand auf ein Mindestmaß zu begrenzen, der mit dem Handel von nicht börsennotierten Aktien verbunden ist, nimmt IBKR Beschränkungen für bestimmten US-Microcap-Aktien vor. Im Folgenden stellen wir eine Liste dieser Einschränkungen sowie FAQs zu diesem Thema bereit. 

Für Microcap-Aktien geltende Beschränkungen

  • In Bezug auf US-Microcap-Aktien akzeptiert IBKR nur noch Transfers von Aktienpaketen zulässiger Kundinnen und Kunden. Kundenkonten gelten als zulässig, wenn sie: (1) ein Kapital von mindestens 5 Mio. USD (vor und nach dem Transfer) aufweisen oder von Finanzberatern verwaltet werden, die jeweils Vermögenswerte in Höhe von insgesamt mindestens 20 Mio. USD verwalten; und (2) wenn US-Microcap-Aktien weniger als die Hälfte des Kapitals ausmachen.
  • IBKR wird Transfers von1 US-Microcap-Aktienpaketen nur dann akzeptieren, wenn der zulässige Kunde bzw. die zulässige Kundin bestätigen kann, dass die Aktien auf dem freien Markt erworben wurden oder bei der SEC registriert sind.
  • IBKR wird Folgendes grundsätzlich nicht akzeptieren:1 Transfers von bzw. eröffnende Orders für US-Microcap-Aktien, die von OTC als „Caveat Emptor“ order „Grey Market“ klassifiziert wurden. In den Kundenkonten bereits vorhandene Positionen dieser Art können jedoch weiterhin geschlossen werden.
  • IBKR akzeptiert keine Transfers von US-Microcap-Aktien, die dazu dienen, eine bei IBKR eingegangene Short-Position zu decken.
  • IBKR-Konten mit dem Status „Execution-only“ (d. h. die Trades werden über IBKR ausgeführt, aber das Clearing dieser Trades findet nicht bei IBKR statt) dürfen nicht zum Handeln von US-Microcap-Aktien verwendet werden. (IBKR kann ggf. Ausnahmen für in den USA registrierte Broker gewähren.)

FAQs zu Microcap-Aktien

Was sind US-Microcap-Aktien?
Microcap-Aktien sind Aktien, die (1) außerbörslich (over the counter, OTC) gehandelt werden oder (2) an der Nasdaq oder NYSE American notiert sind, deren Marktkapitalisierung zwischen 50 und 300 Mio. USD liegt und die für maximal 5 USD gehandelt werden. Im Rahmen dieser Richtlinie werden Aktien von staatlichen Unternehmen der USA auch zu den Microcap-Aktien gezählt, deren Marktkapitalisierung unter 50 Mio. USD liegt, die auch als Nancocap-Aktien bezeichnet werden, oder die auf einem generell mit Microcap-Aktien assoziierten Markt gehandelt werden.

Um zu vermeiden, dass kleinere, kurzfristige Kurspreis-Schwankungen eine wiederholte Neuklassifzierung verursachen, bleiben US-Microcap-Aktien so lange als solche klassifziert, bis sowohl deren Marktkapitalisierung 300 Mio. USD als auch deren Kurspreis 5 USD überschritten haben – und zwar über einen Zeitraum von 30 aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen.

Da es sich bei Microcap-Aktien häufig um niedrigpreisige Aktien handelt, werden sie im Deutschen auch als Kleinstwerte und im Englischen als Penny Stocks bezeichnet. IBKR behält sich vor, Ausnahmen vorzusehen, z. B. für niedrigpreisige Aktien, deren Marktkapitalisierung bis vor Kurzem noch höher war. Darüber hinaus erachtet IBKR sogenannte Amercian Depositary Receipts (ADRs), also von US-Banken herausgegebene Hinterlegungsscheine für Aktien von Nicht-US-Unternehmen, nicht als Microcap-Aktien.

Wo werden Microcap-Aktien gehandelt?
Microcap-Aktien werden in der Regel auf dem OTC-Markt und nicht an nationalen Wertpapier-Börsen gehandelt. Sie werden häufig elektronisch von Market-Makern über OTC-Systeme notiert, z. B. über das OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) und von der OTC Markets Group verwaltete Märkte (OTCQX, OTCQB & Pink usw.). Ebenfalls in diese Kategorie fallen Aktien, die ggf. nicht börsennotiert sind und als „Caveat Emptor“, „Other OTC“ oder „Grey Market“ klassifiziert sind.
Außerdem erachten US-Regulierungsbehörden an der Nasdaq oder NYSE American notierte Aktien mit einem Kurspreis von maximal 5 USD und einer Marktkapitalisierung von maximal 300 USD als Microcap-Aktien.

Was geschieht, wenn ein zulässiger Kunde bzw. eine zulässige Kundin einen Transfer an IBKR veranlasst und eine oder mehrere Positionen darin Microcap-Aktien sind?
Wenn IBKR einen Transfer empfängt, der ein Microcap-Aktienpaket enthält, behält sich IBKR das Recht vor, den Verkauf von jeglichen Microcap-Positionen in diesem Transfer zu beschränken, es es sei denn, die Person, die den Transfer veranlasst hat, legt geeignete Belege darüber vor, dass die Aktien entweder auf dem freien Markt (d. h. an einer öffentlichen Börse über einen anderen Broker) gekauft wurden oder bei der SEC registiert sind (Formular S-1 oder einer ähnlichen Registrierungserklärung).

Zulässige Kundinnen und Kunden können belegen, dass die Aktien auf dem freien Markt erworben wurden, indem sie eine enstprechende Broker-Erklärung oder Trade-Bestätigung eines seriösen Brokers vorlegen, aus der hervorgeht, dass die Aktien an einer öffentlichen Börse gekauft wurden. Zulässige Kundinnen und Kunden können belegen, dass die Aktien registriert sind, indem sie das SEC-Aktenzeichen (Edgar-System) vorlegen, unter dem ihre Aktien von dem Unternehmen registriert wurden (sowie alle Dokumente, die erforderlich sind, um zu bestätigen, dass es sich bei den Aktien um die in der Registrierungserklärung genannten Aktien handelt).

HINWEIS: Es steht allen Kundinnen und Kunden jederzeit frei, Aktien jeder Art von ihrem Konto an ein anderes zu transferieren.

Inwieweit wird IBKR Prime-Konten beschränken?
Kundinnen und Kunden, zu deren Aktivitäten auch Prime-Services gehören, gelten als zulässig allein für die Zwecke dieser Handelsgeschäfte, da IBKR zugstimmt hat, diese von seinen ausführenden Brokern zu akzeptieren. Obwohl über Prime-Konten US-Microcap-Aktien bei IBKR abgewickelt werden können, werden diese Aktien so lange begrenzt, bis IBKR bestätigt hat, dass sie gemäß den oben beschriebenen Verfahren weiterverkauft werden können. 

Um die Beschränkungen der auf dem freien Markt erworbenen Aktien aufzuheben, lassen Sie sich vom ausführenden Broker ein unterzeichnetes Schreiben auf Firmenpapier ausstellen oder reichen Sie einen offiziellen Kontoauszug ein, aus dem hervorgeht, dass die Aktien auf dem freien Markt gekauft wurden. Das Schreiben bzw. der Auszug muss auch die folgenden Kriterien erfüllen. Falls die Aktien im Rahmen eines Angebots erworben wurden, müssen dem Schreiben bzw. Auszug Dokumente oder Verweise hinzugefügt werden, die sich auf die jeweilige Registrierungserklärung beziehen und angeben, dass die Aktien Teil des Angebots waren.

Erforderlicher Inhalt und Anforderungen an das Broker-Schreiben:
IBKR-Konto-Nummer
2) IBKR-Konto-Bezeichnung
3) Handelstag
4) Settlement-Datum
5) Symbol
6) Handelsrichtung
Kurs
Menge
9) Uhrzeit der Ausführung
Börse
11) Unterzeichnet
12) Auf offiziellem Firmenpapier gedruckt

Zusammenfassung: Sell-Orders für Long-Positionen werden akzeptiert, wenn die Long-Position nicht mehr beschränkt ist. Sell-Orders für Short-Positionen werden akzeptiert. Buy-Orders für Long-Positionen werden akzeptiert und die Position wird so lange beschränkt, bis Compliance alle erforderlichen Informationen erhalten hat, um die Beschränkung aufzuheben. Buy-Orders für Deckungsgeschäfte und Roundtrip-Geschäfte (Ein- und Aussteigen) am selben Tag werden nicht akzeptiert.


Was geschieht, wenn eine bereits gekaufte Aktie später als „Grey Market“ oder „Caveat Emptor“ klassifiziert wird?

Wenn Sie mit Ihrem IBKR-Konto eine Aktie kaufen, die zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt als „Grey Market“ oder „Caveat Emptor“ klassifiziert wird, können Sie diese Position halten, schließen oder transferieren, jedoch nicht weiter aufbauen.

Aus welchen Gründen kann der Handel mit Microcap-Aktien für mein Konto eingeschränkt werden?
Es gibt zwei wesentliche Gründe, die zu einer Beschränkung des Handels mit Microcap-Aktien führen können:

  • Mögliche Verbindung zum Emittenten: Die Rule 144 der U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gibt gewisse Einschränkungen für den Handel mit Aktien (einschließlich Microcap-Aktien) vor, wenn eine Verbindung („affiliation“) zum Emittenten besteht . Wenn IBKR auf Microcap-Handelsgeschäfte oder -Beteiligungen aufmerksam wird, die sich nah an den Schwellenwerten der Rule 144 („Rule 144 Thresholds“) befinden, wird IBKR für diese Person ggf. den Handel mit dieser Microcap-Aktie beschränken, bis eine Compliance-Überprüfung abgeschlossen wurde.
  • Transferierte Microcap-Aktien: Bei einem Transfer von Microcap-Aktien in ein IBKR-Kundenkonto behält sich IBKR vor, den Handel mit diesem Wertpapier für dieses Konto zu beschränken, bis eine Compliance-Überprüfung abgeschlossen wurde.

Falls einer dieser Gründe zutrifft, wird der Handel mit diesem Wertpapier beschränkt und der Kunde bzw. die Kundin erhält eine Benachrichtigung über das Mitteilungscenter im Client Portal. In der Benachrichtigung wird der Grund für die Beschränkung angegeben und es wird erläutert, welche Schritte erforderlich sind, damit IBKR prüfen kann, ob die Beschränkungen aufgehoben werden können.

Warum denkt IBKR, dass eine Verbindung zwischen mir und dem Emittenten einer Microcap-Aktie bestehen könnte?
Eine Verbindung („affiliation“) ist dann gegeben, wenn es sich bei der Person um einen Executive Officer, Director oder großen Shareholder handelt und durch das Verhältnis somit die Möglichkeit der Einflussnahme besteht.

Rule 144 gilt für alle Wertpapiere und somit auch für Microcap-Aktien. Angesichts des erhöhten Risikos, das mit dem Handel von Microcap-Aktien einhergeht, wird IBKR jedoch den Handel mit einer Microcap-Aktie beschränken, wenn sich die Handelsgeschäfte und/oder Beteiligungen in einem Kundenkonto nah an den Schwellenwerten der Rule 144 („Rule 144 Thresholds“) bewegen.  Diese Beschränkungen bleiben in Kraft, bis die Compliance-Abteilung geprüft hat, ob eine Verbindung zwischen Kontoinhaber/-in und Emittent bestehen könnte.

Warum muss die Prüfung auf eine möglichen Verbindung alle zwei Wochen wiederholt werden?
Ob eine Verbindung besteht oder nicht, kann sich kurzfristig ändern, nachdem IBKR die oben genannte Prüfung auf eine mögliche Verbindung abgeschlossen hat. Daher erachtet IBKR es als angemessen, die Prüfung auf eine mögliche Verbindung alle zwei Wochen zu wiederholen, falls sich die Micropcap-Handelsgeschäfte und/oder -Beteiligungen in einem Kundenkonto weiterhin nah an den Schwellenwerten der Rule 144 bewegen.

Wo finde ich eine Liste der Aktien, die IBKR als US-Microcap-Aktien erachtet?
Eine Liste der von IBKR als US-Microcap-Aktien erachteten Aktien ist hier verfügbar: www.ibkr.com/download/us_microcaps.csv

Diese Liste wird täglich aktualisiert.

Wo finde ich weiterführende Informationen zu Microcap-Aktien?

1Dies gilt für alle Arten von Transfers (z. B. per ACATS, DWAC, FOP), die Umwandlung von kanadischen Listings in ihre US-Gegenstücke per „southbound” Transfer, Transfers zum Decken bestehender Positionen sowie Transfers von IB-Prime-Kundinnen und -Kunden, deren Orders von einem andern Broker und das Clearing von IBKR ausgeführt wird usw.

Your bank will prompt you via push notification or e-mail to review and approve the payment request. Upon receiving your approval, your bank will send a real-time credit transfer directly to IBKR's bank and IBKR will credit your account.

How to Deposit NOK to Interactive Brokers

What are SWIFT and RTGS transfer methods for NOK?

IBKR is able to receive NOK transferred via international bank wire (SWIFT) or RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement payments system) to deposit NOK to your account, no matter if your bank is located within or outside of Norway.

Typically your bank may call those transfers just regular wire transfers, electronic bank transfers or bank-to-bank transfers and may not distinct between international bank wire versus RTGS. You may want to consult with your bank for further information

about the transfer system they use to facilitate your payment.

SWIFT payment

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication - understandably shortened to SWIFT - is a network that allows banks to communicate financial information securely.

SWIFT payments are offered by most banks, for international money transfers, and involve a series of banks which work together to make sure your money arrives at your account.

If you transfer NOK from a financial institution outside of Norway, they may require to use a so called intermediary or correspondent bank to route the payment through, before reaching your account and they are called cross-border payments.

Bank transfers can take time to complete, particularly when it comes to cross-border payments. Clients are increasingly accustomed to a payments experience that feels instant. But making a payment to another country can be much more complex and time-consuming.

Processing bank transfers involves a number of steps – particularly for cross-border payments. These are sent via the correspondent banking network and typically pass between several different banks along the way. After being initiated, a wire transfer is sent by the debtor agent to an intermediary bank before moving on to the creditor agent. Once these steps are complete, the recipient will receive their funds.

There are a number of reasons why cross-border payments may be delayed or held up. Firstly, not all account balances can be updated outside the operating hours of local settlement systems. Delays can also arise if compliance checks need to be carried out, especially when a payment passes through different countries and jurisdictions.

RTGS payment

RTGS stands for Real Time Gross Settlement and is the fastest way to sent money from one bank account to another within the country. Banks charges fees for this real time settlement, that vary by bank.

RTGS method is mostly used for transaction of high value. Its a system where there is continuous and real-time settlement of fund-transfers. You may not be able to select this transfer method in your online banking screen.

It is rather a system your bank will use in the background to transfer your funds upon your request if the funds are transferred within the country. You  may consult with your bank which payment system they use to transfer funds.

How to Deposit DKK to Interactive Brokers

What transfer method can I use to fund my account in DKK?

IBKRs bank account for DKK is held with our Danish Bank and is eligible to receive DKK via RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement) or International Bank Transfer (SWIFT).

IBKR does currently not support domestic transfer methods (local bank to bank transfer).

 

What Information does my bank need to transfer funds?

IBKR will provide you with our IBAN (International Bank Account Number) and the SWIFT code of our bank account upon completing the deposit notification in Client Portal.

If your bank is located in Denmark, they may ask you to provide local bank account details. Please explain that our account is not eligible for local bank to bank transfers and let them advise you on how to transfer funds using our IBAN/SWIFT. IBKR is working to implement local bank transfers, however we cannot provide you a date at this time when it will be available.

If your bank is located outside of Denmark, your bank will typically process payments via international bank wire (SWIFT) or the RTGS payment method. Your online banking will likely show Wire, electronic bank transfer or bank-to-bank transfer as available methods.

Your bank will select the method to transfer your funds on your behalf.

 

SWIFT payment

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication - SWIFT - is a network that allows banks to communicate financial information securely.

SWIFT payments are offered by most banks for international money transfers, and involve a series of banks which work together to make sure your money arrives at your account.

If you transfer DKK from a financial institution outside of Denmark, they may require the use of a so called intermediary or correspondent bank to route the payment through before reaching your account. These are called cross-border payments.

Delays can also arise if compliance checks need to be carried out, especially when a payment passes through different countries and jurisdictions.

RTGS payment

Kronos2 is Denmark National Bank's RTGS (Real-Time-Gross-Settlement) system for payments in Danish Krona and it is primarily used for settlement of large-value, time-critical interbank payments. You may consult with your bank which system they use to facilitate your payment.

You will typically not be given a choice on which method your bank will use to transfer your funds, and it depends as well on the size of payments, the banks involved in the transfer and what service your bank offers.

 

Difference between domestic and international bank transfer

Banks make a domestic wire transfer to send funds to financial institutions residing in the same country or financial zone. When sending funds to financial institutions in a foreign country or financial zone, banks have to make an international bank transfer. The differences between these two bank transfers affect the number of fees banks charge and the duration it takes to complete the transfer.

How to Deposit PLN to Interactive Brokers

What transfer method can I use to fund my account in PLN?

Depending on which Interactive Brokers entity your brokerage account is held with, you may be directed to deposit PLN into an Interactive Brokers bank account held at a bank in Germany OR Poland.

If you receive our Polish Bank routing information:

Clients that receive the bank routing information for our bank located in Poland can transfer funds easily by using the provided bank details (IBAN and SWIFT), and it will likely be processed as a domestic transfer (local bank to bank transfer).

If you receive our German Bank routing information:

Even though the bank account is located outside of Poland, it is denominated in PLN and can receive PLN transfers without issues via international bank transfer (SWIFT).

Please note:

-If your bank is located in Poland, your bank application may ask if you would prefer to send funds in the currency of the destination country (which is EUR for Germany). Do not select to transfer EUR, and do not select SEPA as the transfer method as it is only valid for EUR transfers.

-Ensure that the currency sent by your bank is PLN. If you send EUR to Interactive Brokers' bank account denominated in PLN, the funds will not arrive at Interactive Brokers and will be returned to the remitter bank account automatically. Interactive Brokers will not be informed nor involved in the return process at the bank. The return process can be lengthy and fees may apply.

-Your bank may ask you for our bank's Correspondent Bank information in addition to the IBAN and SWIFT of our bank. You only need to provide this information if your bank explicitly asks for them. Do not transfer funds directly to the Correspondent Bank as funds will not be accepted and will be rejected.

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication - SWIFT - is a network that allows banks to communicate financial information securely.

SWIFT payments are offered by most banks for international money transfers, and involve a series of banks which work together to make sure your money arrives at your account.

If you transfer PLN from or to a financial institution outside of Poland, they may require the use of a so called intermediary or correspondent bank to route the payment through before reaching your account. These are called cross-border payments.

Bank transfers can take time to complete, particularly when it comes to cross-border payments. Clients are increasingly accustomed to a payments experience that feels instant, but making a payment to another country can be much more complex and time-consuming.

Processing bank transfers involves a number of steps – particularly for cross-border payments. These are sent via the correspondent banking network and typically pass between several different banks along the way. After being initiated, a wire transfer is sent by the debtor agent to an intermediary bank before moving on to the creditor agent. Once these steps are complete, the recipient will receive their funds.

There are a number of reasons why cross-border payments may be delayed or held up. Not all account balances can be updated outside of the operating hours of local settlement systems. Delays can also arise if compliance checks need to be carried out, especially when a payment passes through different countries and jurisdictions.

Difference between domestic and international bank transfers

Banks make a domestic transfer to send funds to financial institutions residing in the same country or financial zone. When sending funds to financial institutions in a foreign country or financial zone, banks have to make an international bank transfer. The differences between these two bank transfers affect the number of fees banks charge and the duration it takes to complete the transfer.
