Request for Payment (RFP)

What is Request for Payment?

Request for payment is a message that you could send via IBKR and its supporting bank to your bank to trigger a real-time credit transfer directly to your IBKR account. Your bank will prompt you via push notification or e-mail to review and approve the payment request. Upon receiving your approval, your bank will send a real-time credit transfer directly to IBKR's bank and IBKR will credit your account. Real-time payments are done on a new 24x7x365 payments platform managed by The Clearing House and available to all federally insured U.S. depository institutions.

Who is eligible to use Request For Payment?

Real-time payment eligibility depends on your bank's capability to accept the request. U.S. depository institutions are actively preparing to accept RFPs and most are expected to be able to accept requests in the coming months.

What is the transaction amount limit?

The request for payment limit is determined by your bank. Initially limits are expected to be modest (approximately $5,000 to $10,000), but are expected to increase in the future. The RTP network's current credit transfer limit is $1,000,000

How long does it take for the funds to be credited to my account?

Under normal circumstances you should receive the prompt to approve the request for payment and, upon approval, the funds would be credited to your account and available to trade within a few minutes or faster. 

 

How to deposit HUF to Interactive Brokers

What are Giro/RTGS (Viber) transfers and International Bank Transfers (SWIFT) for HUF?

There are two different transfer methods available for transferring HUF depending of the location of your bank.

GIRO/ RTGS VIBER (domestic) transfers are available at banks located in Hungary for bank-to-bank transfers while banks located outside of Hungary will likely offer International Bank Transfers (SWIFT).

Giro /RTGS (Viber) payments

The Hungarian Internal Clearing System (ICS) operated by GIRO Zrt. is a payment system for the interbank clearing of domestic HUF transfers and direct debits. It is a "Real Time Gross Settlement" system called VIBER.

Banks that are connected to it will allow you to transfer HUF quickly and inexpensively between banks located in Hungary. It will be required to know the Bank Code, Branch Code and Account number of the receiving party.

You do not necessarily have to select GIRO or RTGS (VIBER) in your online banking. Your bank may call it "Bank-To-Bank transfer"  or "domestic payment method" using the details mentioned above.

SWIFT payment

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication - SWIFT - is a network that allows banks to communicate financial information securely.

SWIFT payments are offered by most banks for international money transfers, and involve a series of banks which work together to make sure your money arrives at your account.

If you transfer HUF from a financial institution outside of Hungary, the payment would likely be routed via a correspondent bank located in Hungary before reaching your account. Such payments are known as cross-border payments and often take more time to complete because of the complexity associated with involving multiple banks.

Bank transfers can take time to complete, particularly when it comes to cross-border payments, because of the complexity associated with involving multiple bank in the payment chain.

Processing bank transfers involves a number of steps, particularly for cross-border payments. These are sent via the correspondent banking network and typically pass between several different banks along the way. After being initiated, a wire transfer is sent by the debtor agent to an intermediary bank before moving on to the creditor agent. Once these steps are complete, the recipient will receive their funds.

There are a number of reasons why cross-border payments may be delayed or held up. First, not all account balances can be updated outside of the operating hours of local settlement systems. Delays can also arise if compliance checks need to be carried out, especially when a payment passes through different countries and jurisdictions.

Difference between domestic and international bank transfers

Banks make a domestic transfer to send funds to financial institutions residing in the same country or financial zone. When sending funds to financial institutions in a foreign country or financial zone, banks have to make an international bank transfer. The differences between these two bank transfers affect the number of fees banks charge and the duration it takes to complete the transfer.

Un dépôt faisant l'objet d'une « retenue de crédit » génère-t-il des intérêts créditeurs pendant la période de retenue ?

Overview: 

La réponse dépend de la méthode de dépôt. Dans le cas des dépôts effectués par ACH, tous les intérêts courent à compter de la date à laquelle le dépôt arrive jusqu'à la période de retenue de crédit de quatre jours ouvrés, après quoi ils sont crédités sur le compte. Dans le cas de dépôts de chèques autres que les chèques bancaires, aucun intérêt n'est couru pendant la période de retenue du crédit. Les chèques bancaires et les virements bancaires sont crédités sur le compte à compter de leur réception et ne sont donc soumis à aucune retenue de crédit.

Les intérêts qui vous sont payés varient selon les conditions de marché.  Pour plus d'informations concernant le montant des intérêts actuellement payés sur les soldes créditeurs, veuillez consulter www.interactivebrokers.com/interest
