Money transfer FAQs

Which currencies are available for money transfer?

The same interbank exchange rate as your Currensea card and a small flat fee of 0.5%

Why can’t I send money to my UK account from abroad?

As Currensea works through open banking technology, our accounts only partner with UK based bank accounts. This means that you are able to send funds to overseas USD, EUR, PLN and HUF accounts but can’t yet send money from abroad to your UK bank account.
How do I add a new recipient to transfer money too?

It’s really easy to add a new recipient that you would like to transfer money to. Simply follow the steps on your Currensea dashboard and you will be given the option to either choose an existing recipient or add a new recipient. If you select ‘add a recipient’ you will be given a list of required details, be sure to fill out the correct information to avoid issues with lost funds.

What is an IBAN?

IBAN is short for International Bank Account Number. This is a long account number used by banks for cross-border transfers. Each country structures this number differently, but it always starts with a 2 digit country code (e.g. DE for Germany).

Every bank account has a unique IBAN code, and this is required when sending funds internationally. IBANS are issued by many banks in Europe and other banks internationally are starting to recognise them as well.

When setting up a new recipient you will need the IBAN of the account you wish to send funds to. The IBAN can be found by logging into your online banking or by checking bank statements.

If you are sending funds to the US you will be required to enter the Account Number and Bank Routing Number instead of an IBAN. A Bank Routing number is a 9-digit code assigned to each financial in the United States. When you enter this alongside a payee’s account number it will help identify the exact bank account for your money transfer, similar to a sort code in the UK.
How long will my transfer take to reach the recipient's bank account?

Funds received before 9pm UK time weekdays should reach the recipient’s bank account the following business day. Funds received over a weekend should reach the recipients bank account the following Tuesday.
