Bank Transfers

There are two types of bank transfer that we offer, a standard bank transfer and an instant bank transfer. 

 

What are the main differences, benefits and timescales between a standard and an instant transfer?

  • Standard Bank Transfers take between 1 & 5 days to reach your Paddy Power account (deposits) or your bank account (withdrawals). After your first Instant Bank Transfer (which can take up to 90 minutes), subsequent deposits & withdrawals are immediate.
  • The minimum deposit amount is lower on an instant transfer (£/€5 vs £/€20 on standard)
  • The minimum withdrawal amount is also lower on an instant transfer (£/€0.01 vs £/€10 on standard)
  • Instant transfers are much quicker to set up as you can do all the verification checks using your banking app whereas the standard transfer asks you to put input your bank details so you will need these to hand
  • In both instances, payments are authenticated directly with your bank and personal details are never stored or shared with anyone.

 

Are there any fees associated with Bank transfers?

Fees do not generally apply to either type of transfer. However, with standard transfers you have a daily limit as to the amount you can send. If you go above the daily limit, the transfer could be rejected, and a fee applied. This limit should be detailed at the time on the deposit/withdrawal page when making the transfer.

 

 

How do I register for instant bank transfer?

How do I register for standard bank transfer?

You don’t need to register for a standard transfer, you just need to make a deposit or withdrawal using your bank details. Follow steps 1-3 above but instead of selecting the ‘Popular Tab’, select ‘Other Methods’.

 

You can make a Bank Transfer from this page by looking for the below symbol and following the instructions alongside (withdrawals) or underneath after clicking on it (deposits):

How do Instant Bank Transfers work?

An Instant Bank Transfer is powered by Open Banking. It’s easier than traditional bank transfers and more secure than card payments. Your funds can settle within seconds.

Open Banking enables you to securely connect to your bank and authorise an instant bank transfer to your betting account, instead of using a card or an alternative payment method. Its goal is to give you more transparency and control over your money. You can learn more about open banking here.

  

How secure are instant bank transfers?

With instant bank transfers, we authenticate with your bank meaning you benefit from bank-level security and your personal details are not stored or shared with anyone. We partnered with TrueLayer, an FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) approved provider, to securely connect to your bank and process your payment.
