Urgent credit transfer

If an instant payment is not possible

See how fast money is transferred

In most cases, a regular SEPA credit transfer is credited to the recipient’s account within a few seconds. This is called an instant payment. It applies to individual credit transfers that you arrange manually on Internet Banking for Business, in the ABN AMRO app or via Access Online Renewed, assuming the recipient’s bank cooperates. You can see it in the summary of the credit transfer: 'With the recipient: immediately’. This means that there is less need for urgent credit transfers these days.

When you transfer money, we automatically check whether the money is in the recipient’s account within a few seconds. We also do this if you submit credit transfer batches via Internet Banking for Business, Access Online Renewed or the Bookkeeping Connection and these batches contain a maximum of 10,000 transactions.

Here’s how an urgent credit transfer works

Internet Banking Business

If you look on Internet Banking and see the summary: 'With the recipient: immediately’, the money will reach the recipient within a few seconds.

You’ll see a different message if it is going to take longer: 'With the recipient: Within 1 working day'. In this case, the ‘Urgent payment transfer’ toggle will appear in your screen under 'Execution', giving you the option of transferring the money urgently. It is then usually in the recipient's account within 1.5 hours. 

You must submit this order to us on Internet Banking before 4.30 pm. If you want to send an urgent credit transfer to another bank during the weekend, we will execute it on Monday before 8:00 am.

Access Online Renewed

You’ll see the ‘Urgent payment’ toggle under the heading 'Additional information'. If the toggle disappears when you enter the recipient’s account details, the money will reach the recipient within a few seconds.

If you can still see the toggle, you can opt to make an urgent credit transfer. The money will then be credited to the recipient’s account within 90 minutes.

You must submit the order to us in Access Online by 4.30 pm. If you want to send an urgent credit transfer to another bank during the weekend, we will execute it on Monday before 8:00 am.
