Timing matters when it comes to sending money. Some transfers are urgent. Others are sensitive. In every case, it helps to know exactly how long it will take. Geegpay is built for speed and reliability, but transfer times vary depending on where the money is going and how it is sent. This guide breaks down the timelines for each type of transfer on Geegpay so you can plan with clarity.
NGN Local Transfers
Sending Naira to a Nigerian bank account is fast and free. These transfers use direct connections to local banks, which makes the process smooth and efficient. Once the transfer is initiated, the money moves almost immediately, and a confirmation is sent right after. As to the timeline, NGN transfers on Geegpay are processed and reflect in the recipient’s account within 5 minutes.
In rare situations, there may be a delay if the receiving bank is experiencing downtime or network congestion. Even then, the transfer is usually completed within a few minutes.
International Transfers (USD, EUR, GBP)
International transfers take longer because each country’s banking system works differently. Some banks process transfers quickly. Others go through multiple checks before the money is cleared.
Transfers in US Dollars, Euros, or British Pounds typically take 1 to 3 business days to reach the recipient. These timelines depend on factors such as banking hours, compliance checks, time zone differences, and public holidays in the receiving country. Here is how the process usually works:
If the transfer is sent early in the day and no holidays are involved, it may reflect sooner. Once your transfer is sent, you can track the progress from your Geegpay dashboard.
Wallet-to-Wallet Transfers:
Wallet-to-wallet transfers are processed instantly. As soon as you send funds to another Geegpay user, the money reflects in their account. Because these transfers stay within the Geegpay system, there are no delays from external banks or clearing processes. You only need the recipient’s Geegpay email or username. The money arrives immediately. There are no fees for wallet-to-wallet transfers
In all, transfers on Geegpay are built to move quickly, arrive safely, and keep you informed every step of the way. From local payouts to international payments, you can send money with confidence. If you are new to Geegpay, sign up here to get started.
