  • International transfer

Hi 👋 @Raw-Idea-B-V-Teal-Penguin#186902

You can only initiate transfers to outside the SEPA region through the Transferwise integration with bunq. Transferwise is a reputable company though with transparent fees, fast transfers and quick service. What's holding you back?

    Because it is not a bank, first of all, secondly I need to send euros and transfer wise doesn't allow it

      @Raw-Idea-B-V-Teal-Penguin#187822 You should be able to send Euros to Turkey with TransferWise without conversion according to this help document: https://transferwise.com/help/14/currencies/2968916/sending-eur-to-countries-outside-of-sepa When I enter a Turkish IBAN in the bunq app when sending Euros, I get the message that it can be sent via SWIFT to Turkey through TransferWise. So it should work right from the bunq app.

      Anyway, there is no other way to send international payments. Of course, you're free to use another third party than TransferWise on your own.

        I also have a bunq account and i need to know if i can make a transfer tu another IBAN in another country.

          @New-Orange-Jaguar-2365409605#207357 You can send Euro transfers to all SEPA countries completely free of charge and instant if the other bank supports it. Here's a map where you can see what countries are in the SEPA: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/paym/integration/retail/sepa/html/index.en.html

          And with the TransferWise integration, you can also send money to many other countries outside of the SEPA. For more information on this, check their Support page: https://transferwise.com/help/ Or just ask here about the country you're interested in.

            Hi, i want to send to Colombia, but i do not see COP currency in the bunq app. But the transferwise website does. Is bunq limited? Or do i need to enable something?

              @Mattias-Lime-Panda#226480 Is bunq limited?

              The currencies available through the Wise integration are documented here: https://together.bunq.com/d/5185-wise-currencies/2 There are a few currencies/destinations that are only available if you use Wise directly through their app or website.

                What about March 2022? Is there is still a possibility to transfer to Russia money on personal bank account? Wise in not working any more. Can you tell me which russian banks are under sanctions?

                  @Elena-Pink-Penguin#238304 bunq does not support outgoing SWIFT transfers in their own backend at all, regardless of the country. It works only through their partners Wise and CurrencyCloud (both stopped transactions with Russia and Belarus).

                  Maybe you can find another financial institution or service that can help you with what you‘re trying to do. For example some high-street banks might still allow outgoing transactions to Russian banks that aren‘t affected by sanctions.

                      Hello, i want to transfer euro to euro just in my Indonesian bank account, when i enter SWIFT and my account number, the "next" button doesn't seems responding at all. What did i do wrong? Or bunq no longer support swift transfer?

                        Hay I want to transfer money to Spainish bank account how can I do that

                          @New-Mango-Puppy-3893424600#256906 Click Pay button on the Home screen, enter the the amount, fill in name and IBAN of the receiver and that's it. Nothing special required because Spain uses the Euro and is inside the SEPA :)

                            Currently I send money to Mozambique via Paypal. Transfer fee is 3,99 Euro and on receiving 5,77 Euro. Is there a better and cheaper way to transfer money to this country? By the way, I'm Dutch :)

                              @New-Jade-Dolphin-3427713722#257116 Hi! You can use Wise directly from the bunq app. Take a look at their pricing here to compare it to PayPal.

                                @thijsoost#257127 Hi Thijs, thanks for your quick response! I don't see Mozambique and their currency listed via Bunq or Wise.

                                  @New-Jade-Dolphin-3427713722#257133 You're totally right! I forgot to check if Wise supports MZN, indeed it doesn't. My bad!

                                    How can I setup a way to transfer from my bunq card (Netherlands) to TD account (Canada)? I have been able to do the opposite but can’t seem to navigate this…
