How can we help you?

Making transfers

Why is my added beneficiary pending? / How long does it take to have a beneficiary fully added?

When you add a new recipient/beneficiary, the Zenus team will need to proceed with internal verifications as part of our risk assessment procedures. This process can take 1 or 2 working days.

 

As soon as the verification is completed you will be able to make transfers to the newly added contact. If you want to verify the status of your new recipient/beneficiary, please contact our Client Services team.

 

In some cases, we may need to conduct extra due diligence and request additional information regarding the recipient to conclude our validation process.

Do I need to do anything before receiving a large transfer?

You don't need to do anything if you are expecting a large amount of money. As we review transfers on a case-by-case basis, there's no way to know what information we’ll need until we've received the transfer. Sometimes, we’ll ask you about your relationship to the sender, where the money came from, and the purpose of the transfer. This is a regulatory requirement, and it helps us to make sure that our services are safe and secure for everyone.

How long does it take for my recipient to receive funds?

How long it takes for your recipient to receive funds depends on how they were sent.

Zen Transfers, transfers to other Zenus clients are free of charge and instant. 

ACH payments are not instantaneous, they are processed in batches by all the banks in the network, usually three times a day with a 3pm AST daily cut off. Domestic ACH payments should arrive within 1-2 business days, international payments can take longer. 

SWIFT/Wire transfers are sent electronically and should arrive 3 to 5 business days.

In both cases transfers may be delayed if further information is required or details need to be checked.

Do I need to contact Zenus to make a transfer?
You do not need to contact Zenus Bank when you make a transfer if the amount is within the threshold limit for transfers and can be transferred to that appropriate country or region. Please use this helpful link to see charges and limits: https://zenus.com/charges-limits.

What are the limits for transferring funds?

We've tried to keep our fees, charges and limits simple and inline with the best in the market. You can find all our latest information on the Charges and Limits page of our website

What are your transaction fees?

Zenus Bank charges fees for every outgoing domestic ACH or Wire transfer. If your transfer is International, it will incur an extra payment. 

 

For more details, you can check out our website page as a reference: https://zenus.com/charges-limits

Why is there a transaction limit?

Transaction limits provide security for the bank and for the client. For example, if by any chance your Zenus debit card gets stolen, the person with access to you card can only withdraw $360 from an ATM machine or make payments up to $1,500 in a POS thus restricting their access to the entirety of your funds.

How long for funds to reach my Zenus account?

Bank transfers can take some time to reach your Zenus account and will depend on how they were sent. If you were expecting to receive funds by ACH or SWIFT/Wire and they have not arrived within the expected time, we recommend you get in touch with the sending bank. They should be able to tell you where in the process your transfer is. Other banks often run additional checks on payments before they send them.

Once the payment clears with us, we will apply it to your account.

Zen Transfers, transfers between Zenus clients are instant and free. If you have not received a Zen Transfer please contact Client Services.

How long does a transfer take?

A wire transfer is a fast way to send or receive money electronically.

However, the speed of the transfer depends on several factors. If the transfer is internal it occurs within minutes, but if the transfer is between domestic entities they are usually completed in 24 hours.

Transfers between U.S. and international accounts are completed in 1-2 business days. They are processed in approximately 1-3 business days. Priority delivery via SWIFT is the quickest option, and it will take anywhere between one and three days depending on the country and currency you’ve chosen to send to.

Can I make an urgent large transfer?

Internal Zenus transfers, Visa Direct, and wires have a daily limit of $2,500.

In the case that you need to send a Large transfer, please contact our support team to request an exception.

However, due to regulations and internal procedures, sending large sums can take some time. If you’re sending a larger amount, we often have to do extra checks, which can take longer. We make this process as fast as possible, but we know sending large transfers can be particularly stressful. So here are some things you can do to speed things up.

Set up your transfer with time to spare. So if you have to complete a transfer within a certain timeframe, set it up as soon as possible. Have documents that can support the transaction ready when you start your transfer. That way, if we ask for them, you can send them straight away and we can check them faster.

How do I reverse a pending transaction?

In general, pending transactions cannot be reversed or cancelled. Typically, transactions remain pending on your account for up to 8 days, but some merchants (i.e. hotel & car rental deposits) can occasionally take longer. Transactions are automatically reversed if the merchant does not collect the funds within the established time period.

If you have a pending transaction and don't expect the funds to be collected, we may be able to release the funds earlier if you have evidence to support this. Please note that if we do this, the merchant may still collect the funds, in which case your account will be debited.

If you don't recognize the transaction at all and suspect it may be fraudulent, please get in touch with Client Services immediately and we will assist you.
