Einzelüberweisungen
Einzelüberweisungen, also known as single or individual transfers, refer to the act of sending a specific sum of money from one bank account to another. This is a common banking transaction used for various purposes, such as paying bills, sending gifts, or making purchases. Unlike standing orders or direct debits, Einzelüberweisungen are initiated manually for each transaction. The process typically involves providing details such as the sender's and recipient's account information, the amount to be transferred, and a reference number. Banks offer several channels for executing Einzelüberweisungen, including online banking platforms, mobile banking apps, and physical bank branches. In some cases, a fee may be associated with the transaction, particularly for international transfers or when using specific bank services. The speed of an Einzelüberweisung can vary depending on the banking systems involved, with domestic transfers often being processed within the same business day, while international transfers may take several business days. Security measures are in place to protect these transactions, such as two-factor authentication for online transfers and verification processes at branches.
