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.
German banks, for instance, 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.

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 and Google Pay.
