Before You Send

The app is the source of truth

Cut-offs, fees, required payment details, and available rails are confirmed in-platform before submission.

Local rails move faster where supported

Where a currency supports a local rail, payments are usually faster and more predictable than broad international routing.

SWIFT extends global reach

SWIFT is used for broader coverage, but intermediary banks, receiving banks, and compliance reviews can affect timing.

Payment Timing FAQ

The arrival window depends on the currency, rail, cut-off time, banking days, and final checks. Uptex shows the available route and timing before you submit.

Where a local rail is available, it is usually used for faster domestic or regional delivery. SWIFT is used when broader international routing is needed.

Some currencies rely on SWIFT, local banking calendars, intermediary banks, or extra payment details. These factors can move settlement beyond the same day.

No. Cut-offs are planning windows. The final conversion, funding, and settlement details shown inside Uptex before confirmation are the source of truth.
