Once you place a Transfer Request, we process and send it over to your recipient’s bank. The bank then credits your recipient’s account with the money you have transferred. The time at which your transfer is processed will depend on when you’ve placed your request.

  • If you place the request through Online/Mobile Banking before 2:00 pm (Monday to Friday), it will be processed the same day
  • If you place the request through the branch before 2:30 pm (Monday to Friday), it will be processed the same day

Requests received after these times are processed the next working day subject to the availability of balance and accuracy of details.

Once we start processing your transfer, the transferred amount should be credited to the beneficiary approximately within 7 working days.
