How long do international payments take to process?

How long an international payment takes depends on the payment method you choose through Flywire.

Card payments and instant bank transfers usually clear quickly, so they are often the best option if your payment deadline is close. Manual bank transfers can take longer to process, especially when they involve different banks, countries or currencies.

Typical processing times

• Card payments: usually clear quickly once approved by your card provider.
• Instant bank transfer: usually clears quickly where this option is available.
• Manual bank transfer: can take longer, so allow extra time before your payment deadline.

Your payment is only complete once it has been received in cleared funds and applied to your Scape account. If you are paying close to a deadline, avoid leaving it until the last moment, especially if using manual bank transfer.

You can track your payment through Flywire. If the payment seems delayed, contact Flywire first for help with tracking. You can also contact the Scape team if you need to confirm what is due or whether a payment has reached your account.
