Hello.
A quick step-by-step guide to making an online international bank transfer to Spain (or another EU country):
1. Download and install the mobile application of the required bank (this is best because it inspires more confidence).
If the bank fails with a mobile application, then simply log in to the account on the website of the required bank.
2. Go to the "Money Transfers" tab and choose "International money transfers via the SWIFT system".
3. Fill in the details of the recipient for the payment. For an interbank transfer, you need the last name, first name, patronymic and details of the recipient: the name of the bank, IBAN and BIC codes (when transferring from card to account) or the name and card number (when transferring from card to card).
4. It is important to understand the purpose of the payment and clearly articulate it in two or three words: for example, "Payment for accommodation", "Reservation of language courses" or "Fee for work". Otherwise, the SWIFT system (this is an international system through which world banks exchange payment data) may block the transfer.
5. Press the button "Send money transfer". The money will not arrive instantly: usually the time for transferring abroad ranges from one to three working days, and the new day is counted in each bank differently: in some - from 14:00, and in some - from 17:00.
It is advisable to send amounts up to $ 5k so as not to arouse suspicion and avoid additional checks by the security service, since when making large transfers, the bank's security service can call the account owner to make sure whether he actually makes the transfer.
If you do not want this to happen and want to send large amounts at once, you can change the owner's phone number to a phone number that can be obtained from the call-up service beforehand. After changing the number, it is necessary to "lie down" the account, that is, wait 2-3 days.
Therefore, I advise you to send in small amounts up to $ 5k, and as soon as the recipient receives and cashes the transfer, repeat the procedure until there is money on the balance.
