    What currency accounts do you offer?

  • We offer two types of business cards issued with the Mastercard brand:

    • Business debit cards for your company’s expenses
    • Prepaid reloadable expense cards for your employees

    The main difference between the two types is that the expense cards have separated balances from your iCard for Business account and can be loaded with a predefined amount at any time. On the other hand, debit cards are linked to your business account and have higher spending limits.

    When you order a card, you can choose which type is more suitable for your business needs, as well as the currency in which you want the card to be issued. 

    Business debit cards can be issued in BGN, EUR, or USD, and can be linked only to an account in the same currency, whereas the expense cards can be issued in EUR or BGN only.

  • With iCard for Business, you can send bank transfers in EUR, GBP, CHF, RON, CZK, PLN, ISK, and BGN within and outside the EEA. You can check the full list of countries to which you can send money here

    We support the following outgoing bank transfers:

    • Transfers in EUR within EEA countries - SEPA and SEPA Instant Credit Transfers. All instant transfers are processed in less than 10 seconds if the recipient’s bank supports this type of payment.
    • Transfers in GBP, CHF, RON, RON, CZK, PLN, and ISK within EEA countries – SWIFT (international) transfers which usually take 3-5 business days to be processed.
    • Transfers outside EEA countries – SWIFT (international) transfers. Keep in mind that we can process a bank transfer only if the recipient’s bank is located in a country part of our list of allowed countries for sending bank transfers.
    • Transfers in BGN – local transfers for Bulgarian banks only. These transfers usually take 1 business day to arrive. If the transfer has been sent before 4:00 PM (UTC +02:00) on a business day, it will be processed on the same day. Instant bank transfers (blink) are available in case the recipient’s bank supports them.

    Important: Please note that we cannot process outgoing or incoming bank transfers in USD currency even if you have a USD account. You will be able to send a bank transfer from your USD account in one of the other currencies we support.

  • Once you receive a notification that the transfer was sent from our system, you can check the expected timeframes based on the currency of your transfer.

    Transfers in EUR – regular SEPA transfers usually take 1-2 business days to arrive. If the recipient’s bank supports SEPA Instant Credit transfers and you choose this option, the funds will be processed and sent within 10 seconds. Keep in mind that if the transfer is sent to a bank that does not support SEPA transfers (e.g. a bank from a non-EEA country), it will be processed as an international (SWIFT) transfer in 3-5 business days.

    International (SWIFT) transfers – all transfers to countries in the EEA in GBP, CHF, RON, CZK, PLN, and ISK usually take 3-5 business days to be processed. International transfers to countries outside the EEA can take more than 5 business days to arrive, as this depends on the processing time of the correspondent and intermediary banks.

    Transfers in BGN – such transfers usually take 1 business day to be processed. If the transfer has been sent before 4:00 PM (UTC +02:00) on a business day, it is usually processed on the same day. Instant bank transfers (blink) are available in case the sending bank supports them.
