Also, if the recipient’s bank account is denominated in another currency than EUR, additional fees might be charged by their bank.
Tip: If you want to use cryptocurrencies for payments, you can manually sell your cryptocurrency to your EUR wallet, which is then used for transactions via Bitpanda Pay.

Transactions from your EUR wallet to an EU or EEA member state bank account (via SEPA) take up to 3 business days.
Note: Please keep in mind, that Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays do not count as working days for banks. Furthermore, Austrian public holidays may differ from holidays in other countries. Additionally, not all banks process transfers around the clock, therefore delays may occur regarding transfers depending on the bank in question.
