SWIFT payments

SWIFT payments are international transfers processed via the SWIFT international payment network - unlike regular SEPA payments. This network is one of the largest in the world. Most of these payments are from banks that aren’t within the SEPA (EEA) region.

For the sending of SWIFT payments through bunq, we use one time FX payments. If you're interested in learning more about receiving SWIFT payments, you can find additional information here.

For more info about one time FX payments, you can check out our FAQ.
