What is Local Bank Wire?

How is it different from International Bank Wire?

The local bank wire option allows you to receive funds from STICPAY partner banks in your country to your bank account in your own currency.
By using a local banking system in your country, you can save time and money as it eliminates the need for an intermediary bank. Using an intermediary bank would cost you 2-3 days processing time and higher transfer fees incurred by the international bank wire.

Example :
Ms. Hiroshige resides in Japan and has a Japanese bank account. As a STICPAY user, she was reluctant to withdraw funds using international bank wires due to the high costs and longer transfer times. Now, with STICPAY’s new “Local Bank Wire” services in place, Ms. Hiroshige does not have to hesitate when withdrawing funds. All she has to do is to add her Japanese bank account information and the funds will be available for withdrawal from her account within the same day.

Is it legal to send money to my local bank account?

Yes. Unlike traditional transfers using the bank SWIFT Code network, STICPAY introduced domestic bank wires using blockchain methodology for transferring funds online. In other words, we use a technologically innovative way to move funds online: commonly referred to as FinTech. Blockchain technology is being adopted in many of our banking partners and it is becoming more and more common in the financial services industry. These banking partners are regulated in their own jurisdiction and approved by the regulators.
