Used Wise lots of times and money in Spanish bank in seconds so why is this Fridays transfer not clearing till Monday, not forgetting its Bank holiday in the UK

Hi

I don't have an answer, but a friend tried to send money to my Wise euro account yesterday (twice) and her bank said "success" both times - but the money has still not left her account.

Has anybody else had problems this weekend?

Cheers

Steve

Perhaps the best way to send or receive funds, is by doing it on the Wise account, rather than on another bank’s website? I transferred £100 from U.K. to Wise this morning, and it took seconds. Just a thought 😎

The issue im having is not sending money from english account to wise, that took seconds. Sending from wise to Spanish account will not clear till tomorrow, done dozens of times before over weekends and money usually there instantly not this time?

Oh I see, that is unusual. Let’s hope it’s a one-off glitch 🤔
