Flash Payment

a cross-border transfer carried out within the UniCredit Group banks in EUR or local currency of the country of the beneficiary’s bank, where the currencies are not converted. Such payment is normally processed as urgent payment at the price of a standard payment, with no need to identify such payment as urgent in the payment order submitted to the bank.

BIC

(Bank identification code) - used to uniquely identify the bank in international payment operations. The maximum length of BIC is 11 characters.

Types of fees

Before completing a transfer order, it is necessary that the payer and the beneficiary agree on who is going to bear the costs of executing the transfer:

  • OUR - the bank fees are borne by the payer; the fee is charged immediately after the payment,
  • BEN - the bank fees are borne by the beneficiary, who will receive the payment amount reduced by the bank fees (provided the payment amount is lower - e.g. less than CZK 1,000, EUR 50... foreign banks tend to act as in the case of the OUR fee),
  • SHA - the fees are split between the payer and the beneficiary, i.e. the Bank fee is borne by the payer and other fees are charged from the transfer amount.
