International payments typically reach your supplier within 0-3 business days once processed. Timing depends on your supplier's location, the payment method you've selected, and the date you send the payment. The payment rail, your recipient's bank, and any regulatory checks can all affect how quickly funds arrive.
How It Works
- Payment rail: Funds move via a local clearing network or a SWIFT wire; SWIFT transfers carry an additional flat fee. See What are the fees for making international payments to suppliers?
- Bank processing times: Timing varies with the recipient's bank and any intermediary banks in the chain; some process international transfers faster than others.
- Transaction review: Regulatory requirements sometimes call for supporting documentation, which can add to processing time.
- Bank holidays and weekends: Payments sent outside business days wait until the next business day, since banks only process payments on business days.
- Schedule ahead: Send payments a few days before funds are needed to build in a buffer against delays.
- Accurate supplier details: Correct bank account and supplier information prevents processing holdups.
