Introduction to Cut-off Times
SEPA and SWIFT cut-off times are crucial deadlines by which money transfer instructions must be received by a bank to ensure same-day processing. These times are vital for ensuring timely execution of financial transactions for businesses and individuals.

Importance of Timing
Missing these deadlines means your transaction will be processed the next business day, which can be critical for timely financial planning and operations.
Additional Considerations:
Business Days: Working days refer to Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays in Sweden and Lithuania.
Bank Processing Times: While we strive for efficient processing, the actual arrival of funds may also depend on the recipient bank's processing times.
