Many of our international transfers are completed within 24 hours. Deposits and transfers of GBP can occur within one hour using Faster Payments (with participating banks). As we have local bank accounts in multiple countries across the globe, international transfers for many currency corridors on our platform are treated as domestic “local” transfers, saving you time and money. This varies depending on the currency corridor you have selected.
