    How fast is instant?

    A payment is instant when it arrives within 20 seconds. And sometimes they’re even quicker. So, your payments could arrive before you can say ‘hidden bank fees’.

    Right now, 74% of our transfers are instant. But our mission is to build instant transfers for everyone, everywhere. So if your chosen currency route is not instant yet, make sure to check the speed of your transfer in our calculator.
