| Method | Time to arrive |
|---|---|
| Flywire — card / online payment | Immediate. Your blocking confirmation is issued straight away. |
| Flywire — bank transfer | 2–5 business days |
| International bank transfer (SWIFT) | 3–10 business days |
Flywire's bank transfer is usually faster than an international bank transfer. With SWIFT, your payment passes through several banks, and each one has to check and forward it manually. With Flywire, once your payment reaches their network it goes straight to its destination — no extra stops along the way.
Tracking your transfer
Log into your Fintiba account to see your transfers and their current status. Click on a payment to get a tracking link for that transfer. Flywire's step-by-step tracking dashboard shows you exactly where your money is at every stage — something an international bank transfer cannot give you once the money has left your bank.
Flywire payments
| Status | What it means | What you should do |
|---|---|---|
| Registered | The payment is set up and your exchange rate is locked in. The money has not been sent yet. | Transfer the amount using the payment details and reference provided. |
| Sent | The payment is confirmed and on its way to your Blocked Account. | Nothing — sit tight. |
| Received | The money has arrived and been credited to your Blocked Account. | Your blocking confirmation is available in your account. |
| Cancelled | The payment was cancelled before any money was sent. Nothing was taken from your account. | Start a new payment. The exchange rate may differ from the one you were shown. |
| Expired | The payment details were not used in time and are no longer valid. No money was taken. | Start a new payment. The exchange rate may differ from the one you were shown. |
| Failed | The transfer could not be completed. Any money sent is being returned to your bank. | Start a new payment. The exchange rate may differ from the one you were shown. |
One thing to keep in mind: if your Flywire payment shows as "received", your blocking confirmation may still take a little time to generate.
