Payment types can be selected when creating a payment and depend on the beneficiary's account, bank, and country.

  • SEPA - Single Euro Payments Area is the format for Eurozone euro transfers, equivalent to a domestic transfer within your own country.

  • DSP - denominated in one of the currencies of an EEA member state (i.e.: EUR, HUF, ISK, NOK, PLN, RON, SEK, CHF, CZK, DKK).

  • SWIFT - for international transfers in multi-currency outside eurozone

Please note that payment speeds are not guaranteed and may vary depending on factors such as regulatory and compliance checks, payment cut-off times, as well as the beneficiary's bank.

Fees options for SWIFT Payments:

Intermediary and beneficiary banks might charge a fee to process SWIFT transfer requests

  • OUR – The payment initiator bears all the fees, with a fixed amount charged to the initiator and debited from their iBanFirst account upon payment execution.

  • BEN – The payment beneficiary bears all the fees; no fees are charged to the payment initiator.

  • SHARE – Fees are split between the payment initiator and the beneficiary, with a fixed amount charged to the initiator and debited from their iBanFirst account upon payment execution.
