How long does a transfer to Spain from the United Kingdom take?
Transfers to Spain from the United Kingdom can arrive in as little as 10 minutes; the actual time depends on the payout method and the receiving bank or provider, and the estimated arrival time is shown in the app before you confirm.
| Payout method | What the recipient needs | What affects delivery time |
|---|---|---|
| Bank deposit (EUR) | Full account name and Spanish IBAN (starts with ES, 24 characters) | Receiving bank processing and cut-off times |
| Mobile wallet | A supported wallet linked to a Spanish/Andorran IBAN (for example Bizum) where available | Wallet eligibility and verification for that transfer |
| Cash pickup | Valid photo ID and the transaction reference | Agent location hours and local availability |
Several things can affect speed: receiving-bank cut-off times, weekends and local holidays in Spain, identity or compliance checks, and incorrect recipient details. A mistyped name or IBAN can cause the receiving bank to reject and return the payment, so double-check everything before you confirm.
How much does it cost to send money to Spain from the United Kingdom?
The exchange rate and every fee are shown in the app before the transfer is confirmed, so you see the full cost and the amount your recipient will receive before you pay. The total can vary with the amount you send, the currency the recipient gets and the payout method you choose. Your recipient should also check whether their own bank or wallet provider charges an incoming or handling fee, as this is outside Coinepay's control.
Ways to receive money in Spain from the United Kingdom
Bank deposit
Funds are paid into the recipient's Spanish bank account in euros. You will need their full account name and IBAN. A Spanish IBAN has 24 characters: it starts with ES, two check digits and 20 digits that contain the bank, branch, national check digits and account number. The bank and branch identifiers are embedded in the IBAN, so IFSC, CLABE and US routing numbers do not apply. Both the UK and Spain are within SEPA's scope, so a SEPA euro transfer generally uses the IBAN; for a SWIFT transfer the receiving bank may also provide its SWIFT/BIC (8 or 11 characters). The provider may ask for the bank name too.
Mobile wallet
Where a wallet payout is offered for Spain, the recipient needs a supported wallet. Note that Spain's popular Bizum service requires a linked Spanish or Andorran IBAN, so a wallet backed only by a UK account cannot receive it. Available wallets and their eligibility for your specific transfer are shown in the app when you choose the payout method.
Cash pickup
The recipient collects the money in cash at a participating agent location. They will typically need valid photo identification and the transaction reference you share with them. Availability depends on agent locations and opening hours.
What you need to send money to Spain from the United Kingdom
- A verified Coinepay account (complete identity verification before sending).
- The recipient's full legal name exactly as it appears on their bank account or ID.
- The payout details for the method you choose: IBAN for bank deposit, wallet details for a mobile wallet, or the recipient's name and location for cash pickup.
- The purpose of the transfer and, if asked, documents showing the source of funds.
Spain's local currency is the euro (EUR). Spanish banks may hold a transfer while they check the parties' details or request documents on the origin of funds, so accurate information helps avoid delays. If the transfer is a gift, be aware that Spanish gift-tax rules may apply depending on the recipient and jurisdiction; check with a tax adviser if you are unsure.
