Money Transfer

It takes approximately one business day from the day you made a transfer from Shinhan Bank Korea, and two to three business days if the transfers are made from another bank in Korea.

You need the receiving party(beneficiary)’s information, which includes the beneficiary’s bank SWIFT code (or, name of the bank), address of the bank, beneficiary account number, name, telephone number, and address.

It is possible to check if funds were transferred on the day of the wire transfer assuming the transfer was completed before the cut-off time, which is 12 pm in Korean time zone. If not, it can be delayed by one business day. If it is urgent, it is recommended to make the transfer before the cut-off time in Korean time zone.

You may check availability of the funds either over the phone or by online banking. We recommend that you check via online banking as we are unable to provide additional details of the funds, such as fund amount, over the phone.
