What is a bank transfer?

Bank transfers, also known as wire transfers, are a way of moving funds from one entity to another, like when your bank makes a payment to Skype by wiring the funds to your bank account. Transferring money from one bank to another can be done in two ways:

• There is also the option of making a one-off bank transfer, where you make an order on the Skype website and you are provided with all the necessary bank information in order to make a payment at the bank (in person, via mail, or by phone). See How do I pay by one-time bank transfer for more information about how to make a one-time bank transfer and how to make a one-time bank transfer.

• In order to make an online bank transfer, you place an order on the Skype website and, when the order is placed, you are automatically redirected to your bank’s website. Currently, these methods are only supported locally (within the same country).

There are many payment methods that can be used to make payments, but there isn’t a single standard procedure that applies to all banks. In some cases, banks within the same country or territory may handle bank transfers in a different way, even if they are part of the same financial institution.

In the event that you have made a bank transfer payment, Skype is not able to reverse that payment until the payment has been completed and the order has been delivered.

Will I incur any fees?

Depending on your bank, you may have to pay a processing fee on top of what you sent to Skype for paying for your order in order to complete your payment. Any processing fees that your bank may impose on your payment will not be reimbursed by Skype.

You may want to consider an alternative payment method in case your bank does not accept your payment or charges you a fee for the transaction.

Can I do a bank transfer in my country?

Please refer to our ways to pay page if you would like to see if bank transfer is an option for payments in your country.

How long does a bank transfer take?

Depending on the bank system in the country where the payment is made and the country in which the order is placed, the time it takes for your payment to clear and the order to be delivered may vary. Taking the following guidelines into consideration:

• It is reasonable to expect that the payment will clear within 3-7 business days for regular bank transfers, where the payment needs to be completed at the bank.

• The payment is expected to clear within two business days when you make the payment online through the bank’s website, where you complete the payment through the bank’s website. There may be times when it takes up to four business days in rare cases.
