How long does a prepayment transfer take?
Hello,
I ordered something online the day before yesterday and transferred the money in advance yesterday. Now, since the order status is pending payment, I wanted to ask how long it will take before I can worry. The IBAN to which the transfer was made begins with AT22 (I think that's Austria).
How long can a transfer be “in transit”?
Regulations regarding the execution deadlines for transfers to be observed by a payment service provider can be found in Section 675s of the German Civil Code (BGB). The term "payment service provider" includes, in particular, banks or e-money institutions. The following deadlines apply to the payment service provider of the customer placing the order:

In my opinion, it always depends on the bank. The same bank is a bit faster, while a different bank can easily take 2-3 days to process the money. Unless you made the transfer immediately.
This has to be booked by the recipient first. It can take a few days before the payment is reported as "Payment received."
From Spain to Germany max two days.
