Looking to transfer money abroad? Here's what Paysera has to offer
Transfers in Europe: SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area)
With a Paysera account, you can make standard SEPA (non-urgent) transfers to banks in the European Economic Area (EEA). Or, put simply, you can send money across European borders with ease, without worrying about high fees or slow processing times.
Who can use the feature and how long does it take?
All private and business Paysera users who are based in SEPA countries, and a few additional countries. The transfer typically takes 1-2 business days to reach the recipient.
Does it cost anything?
Usually, they’re free of charge, with some exceptions, based on the sender’s country and whether they’re sending money abroad as a private person or a business client. Make sure you check all the details regarding the SEPA transfer fees before you make a transfer.
Also, please note that payment transfers overseas may cost more if the recipient’s bank account is not connected to the SEPA system.
Which should I use – the Paysera app or online banking and how do I do it?
You can make standard SEPA transfers via both the Paysera app and online banking! Also, no additional actions are needed – simply make a regular bank transfer, and it’s automatically a SEPA transaction. If the recipient’s bank has enabled the SEPA scheme – you’re good to go.
Faster transfers in Europe: SEPA Instant transfers
You thought standard SEPA transfers sound great? Here’s an even better option – SEPA Instant transfers!
SEPA Instant transfers are an excellent choice for anyone looking for a faster way to transfer money within the European Economic Area (EEA).
As the name suggests, SEPA Instant transfers provide the recipient with the funds within seconds of the transaction. This is a significant improvement over traditional standard SEPA transfers, which take 1-2 business days.
Something to keep in mind:
The transfer limit is 100,000 EUR
Who can use the feature and how long does it take?
All Paysera users based in SEPA countries and the recipient’s bank must be a member of the SEPA Instant system. The transfer takes literally seconds.
Does it cost anything?
SEPA Instant transfers are usually free when it comes to international payment online and transfers in euros.
Which should I use – the Paysera app or online banking and how do I do it?
The service is enabled for both. Just like with the standard SEPA transfer, no additional actions are required, as SEPA Instant is automatically applied to any transfer you make. Just ensure that the recipient’s bank is in the EEA and a member of the SEPA Instant scheme.
Transfers outside the EEA
We've talked about transfers within Europe. But what if you need to send money to your loved ones or for business purposes outside the EEA?
Don’t worry, Paysera’s got your back.
Ever heard of TARGET2?
Long story short, TARGET2 is a payment system used by banks in the EU and EEA to transfer funds between each other, and it can also facilitate transfers outside the EEA through correspondent banking relationships.
As a member of TARGET2, Paysera makes it possible for its clients to do just that – send money outside the EEA with ease!
Something to keep in mind:
- Transfers outside the EEA can be made in euros only.
- The recipient’s bank must be included in the list of the TARGET2 system.
- Correspondent banks may charge additional fees from the transferred amount.
Who can use the feature and how long does it take?
All Paysera clients can use the feature, however, while we enable transfers to 180+ countries, transfers to some countries are not available. The transfer may take up to 3 business days for the recipient's bank account to receive the funds.
Does it cost anything?
It will cost 7 EUR or more, depending on your circumstances. Read more about it here.
Which should I use – the Paysera app or online banking and how do I do it?
It's available for both!

We understand the importance of flexibility, which is why we offer our clients access to more than 30 different currencies.

And the best part?
You can convert your funds within the same account, making international transactions smoother than ever before. It’s all in one place.
Something to keep in mind:
- As a private client, if you exchange up to 500 EUR in a month or more than 5000 EUR at once, you'll automatically get the best possible rate. It's that simple!
- For our business clients, we're excited to offer a better-than-normal rate when you exchange more than 5000 EUR at once.

Who can use the feature and how long does it take?
Both private and business Paysera clients can use the online service! The duration of the transfers depends on the specific foreign currency, but should never take longer than 3 business days, and many transfers reach the recipient immediately.
Does it cost anything?
Currency exchange rates and fees vary depending on the currency, recipient country, and bank. You can check them on Paysera's currency exchange rate calculator.
Which should I use – the Paysera app or online banking and how do I do it?
You can transfer money in different currencies via both the Paysera app and online banking! It works the same way as a regular bank transfer. However, before you transfer money in different currencies, you’ll want to exchange it into the currency for your desired amount, and it’s very easy to do, just follow a few simple steps!
