Métodos de financiación

The Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) is a payment-integration initiative of the European Union that allows for fast, reliable and cheap e-transfers between bank accounts in the SEPA-zone. For more details, see General Information about SEPA.

SEPA Instant is a 24/7/365 payment scheme where transfers are settled in less than 10 seconds. If your bank supports SEPA Instant, you can send funds to and from your Kraken account in real time. Short delays due to checks and processing by the sending and receiving bank may sometimes apply.

SEPA Instant Credit Transfers (SCT Ins) may incur banking charges, so please contact your bank to enquire about fees. The current maximum limit for SCT Instant is €100,000.00 per transaction. This is a limit set by the SCT Instant network and is outside of Kraken's control.

Tiempos de procesamiento

EUR (SEPA, SEPA Instant): 0-3 business days or instant.

You will receive an automated email confirming your funds have been credited to your account. If you experience a delay or if your funds are either on hold or have not been credited to your account, please contact Support.
