Payment processing is part of our core business.
We tailor our services to your needs – even for complex domestic and international transactions.

SEPA Credit Transfer

Domestic and SEPA transfers, whether internal or external, are typically processed as SEPA payments.

International Money Transfer

SWIFT is a global standard for most major currencies and is typically used for transfers outside the European Economic Area.

Express Transfer

Fast transfers in euros between accounts at participating banks in the euro area can be made using express transfers.

The most important points at a glance:

A bank transfer is a form of cashless payment that allows you to instruct your bank to transfer funds from your account to another person’s account.

For transfers within the European Economic Area (EEA) and to certain other countries, the SEPA credit transfer is typically used, which is conducted in euros.

For transactions in other currencies or to countries outside the EEA, international wire transfers are usually used.
