Opening a Blocked Account
Fintiba offers a fast Blocked Account opening experience - you can open a Blocked Account in a few minutes!

Transfer your funds with one of our payment partners
With your account open, we'll guide you through the transfer process directly in your Fintiba account, so you always know exactly what to do and when.
Depending on your location and the mode of transfer, it takes 1 to 5 business days for your funds to arrive in your Blocked Account once you initiate the transfer.
You may be directed to one of our payment partners: Flywire (for students) or TransferMate (for non-students)*.
Both facilitate fast transactions compared to international bank transfers and allow you to transfer your money in your local currency.
☝ Important: You may be asked to provide additional documents for your payments along the way. Keep them ready for submission for a smooth process and watch out for notifications from us or our partners.
Your funding takes more than 5 business days?
We are happy to help verifying the status of your payment. In case you are making use of Flywire or TransferMate, for the fastest resolution we recommend reaching out to our partners directly.
