The costs1 are calculated depending on the amount, the destination and the methods of payment and collection. With Western Union, you can choose what best suits your budget and is most convenient for your loved ones to wish them a Merry Christmas.
All bank transfers depend on the rules of the SEPA zone countries. Within this common territory, the money will arrive between the same day and the next business day (any day of the year that is not a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday).
On public holidays banks do not operate, therefore, they do not make bank transfers. If you want to make a money transfer this Christmas, it is advisable to take into account the holidays of the countries of origin and destination because, if you make a transfer on holidays, it is possible that it will not be processed for some time.
Nationally, these are the dates on which banks do not operate, as these are not working days: Saturdays and Sundays, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Labor Day, Christmas Day and December 26.
