  • While we don't charge a fee for EUR deposits via SEPA bank transfers, additional transfer fees may be charged by your bank. To learn more about our fees and processing time, read more in Introducing cash deposits and withdrawals.

  • The processing time of your EUR deposit will vary depending on the SEPA payment type you've used. If your bank supports SEPA Instant and your payment is sent as 'Urgent', you should see your EUR deposit within a few seconds. Otherwise, it may take up to 2 business days before the amount is reflected in your account.
