Transfer times and tracking a payment to Banco Popular Dominicano, S.A. Banco Multiple

There is no single answer for international payments: many arrive within a day, others take several business days. Weekends and public holidays in the sending or receiving country can add a day or more, since banks do not process on those days. Occasionally a bank asks what the payment is for, which can hold things up.

Many banks are connected to SWIFT gpi, which lets them follow a payment from bank to bank. Each payment carries a unique reference, the UETR that banks can use to trace it. Money transfer services often show tracking online so you can see how far the payment has got.

The bank that sent the money is able to start an official trace; the receiving side usually has nothing to trace yet. On the receiving end, it helps to look at your account to see a partial amount.

Watch out for payment fraud

Criminals regularly use payment requests containing new bank details. The fact that BPDODOSX exists does not mean that a request mentioning it is genuine – fraudsters use real bank codes as well.

Before paying, verify a change of bank details through a phone call. Urgency or secrecy tend to be red flags; a genuine business can wait for you to check. If a payment was sent to the wrong account, call your bank right away.

People receiving money can be targeted as well: one known trick is an overpayment and then sends a request to send back the difference abroad. Wait until the money has really arrived.
