How Sedber worksBy listening to you, understanding your risk requirements and creating an effective service and flexible technology platform that best support your needs.
-
How many currencies can I payout in my account?You can payout in 33 currencies via SWIFT and 17 currencies via local payment routes.
-
Will there be a different International Bank Account Number (IBAN) for each of the 34 currencies I can receive in via SWIFT?There is one unique SWIFT IBAN per account within our system. This IBAN can receive all 34 currencies. The correct currency balance will be credited based on the currency received.
-
What happens if an inbound payment is made using an unsupported payment method?The funds will be rejected by the sending or beneficiary bank and returned to you.
-
How long does it take for a SWIFT transfer to appear in my account?This is dependent on the payment rail used: Local GBP payments via faster payments are usually received and allocated in minutes; Local EUR payments are generally received within a few hours of payment depending on the cut off times of the sending bank; Local USD payments are received same or next day depending on the amount sent and the cut of times of the sending bank. The time it takes for SWIFT funds to reach you is dependent on the bank, currency and the correspondent banking chain. Once the funds have arrived they are typically credited into the account in seconds.
-
Will receipts be automated 24/7, or only during UK hours?Our systems are automated and work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, some payment schemes have set working hours. The following payment schemes have the following working hours: Local GPB via Faster Payments – 24/7; International SWIFT – 06:00 to 20:00 GMT/BST; Local EUR via SEPA Credit Transfers – 07:30 to 17:30 CET/CEST; Local USD via FEDwire/ACH – 09:30 to 17:00 EST/EDT.
-
How many currencies can I receive funds in, via my multi-currency account?You can receive funds in 34 currencies via SWIFT and 3 currencies via local routes.
-
Will I receive the full amount send from the payer?For local routes (local EUR, GBP and USD), you will receive the full amount sent by the payer. For SWIFT, if the payment is sent by the payer shared (SHA) or beneficiary (BEN) then fees will be deducted from the amount sent. If the payment is sent by the payer ours (OUR) then you will receive the full payment amount sent by the payer.
-
Things you can provide to help us locate the fundsProof of payment (Sender/beneficiary details) UETR (Unique End-to-end Transaction Reference) [This is a unique reference associated with every SWIFT payment that is kept and shared by each bank involved in the payment.] can sometimes help us track SWIFT payments Full MT103 [This is a standardised SWIFT payment message. It is accepted as proof of payment and includes all payment details such as date, amount, currency, sender and recipient] - SWIFT only General information - amount, currency and the date the funds were sent
-
The funds are not in my accountIf funds have been sent to your account, without referencing the account ID, we require proof in order to match them to the correct account, this could be provided in the format of: Proof of payment which shows the sender details, your account details, the amount, the currency and the date. Screenshot of a bank statement with the specific funding payment included. If funds remain in an unmatched state for 5 working days, they are returned on the 6th working day.
-
Tracking the funds with UETR (Unique End-to-end Transaction Reference)Sometimes, we have visibility of funds coming in via SWIFT using the UETR, but this isn't definite. Although we do try to look for these funds (once the UETR is provided), we expect the remitting bank to take the onus for tracing the funds. Furthermore, UETR tracking only works when the funds have credited us or when the last updated status was available within the GPI chain. It is always best to request a GPI Tracking screenshot from the remitter, as it can help identify where funds are along the payment rail.
