What are public holidays and interbank closures?
These are exceptional days which have a direct impact on your banking transactions and extend the execution delays of your transfers.

How to anticipate this exceptional situation?
Standard transfers created on these days will be scheduled and executed the following business day. Note that instant transfers are available 7 days a week and allow you to pay your beneficiary within 10 seconds!
💡Make your standard transfers as early as possible in the preceding week before 10:30 a.m. so that they are executed the same day.
What if I’m sending overseas? If you are sending via the SWIFT platform, your ability to effect an international transfer may be subject to local banking holidays in the country you are sending to. Please see this article for more information.
