Domestic bank rail
| Rail | Countries | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| iDEAL | 1Netherlands | You approve in your bank app and the merchant gets confirmation immediately, so an exchange normally credits the deposit within minutes. |
SEPA (euro area)
| Rail | Countries | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| SEPA transfer | 27Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria +24 | One business day at most for an electronically submitted order, so a Friday evening transfer typically lands on Monday. |
| SEPA Instant | 21Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria +18 | Funds must be made available to the recipient within ten seconds of the payment order, at any hour including weekends and public holidays. |
Listed by Bitvavo, used nowhere we rank it
Bitvavo supports these somewhere, by its own account, but none of the 27 countries we rank it in lists them, so they have no page here.
