How long does it takes?
| Bank clerk: | — | Hello. Can I help you, ma´am? |
| Mary Jones: | — | Yes. Could you tell me how to send some money to someone with an account with a bank in Germany? |
| Bank clerk: | — | Well, you can pay by mail, telegraphic or SWIFT transfer. Or you can have a banker´s draft and mail it yourself to the beneficiary. |
| Mary Jones: | — | Which is the best way? |
| Bank clerk: | — | It depends on the amount and how fast you want that person to receive the money. A SWIFT transfer is the fastest method but a banker´s draft is usually the cheapest. How much do you wanna send? |
| Mary Jones: | — | $800. |
| Bank clerk: | — | Why don´t you send it by mail payment order? |
| Mary Jones: | — | How long does it take? |
| Bank clerk: | — | About a week. |
| Mary Jones: | — | I don´t know. Can I send it more quickly? |
| Bank clerk: | — | Sure. You can have a Telegraphic or a SWIFT transfer. |
| Mary Jones: | — | And how long do those take? |
| Bank clerk: | — | Both a Telegraphic Transfer and a SWIFT transfer will normally be credited to the payee´s account within three or four working days, depending on whether the beneficiary´s bank is among our correspondent banks or we have to route the transfer through a third bank. |
| Mary Jones: | — | I see. How can I pay by Telegraphic Transfer? |
| Bank clerk: | — | You have to fill out this form, ma´am. |
