Fintiba Transfer

The refund via Fintiba Transfer is only possible if you have originally sent the money to your Fintiba account via Fintiba Transfer. Refunds to bank accounts outside Germany can take up to 3-4 weeks because often intermediary banks are involved in the payment chain. Read more about the process in our dedicated blog article on international transfers. In addition, these cross-border payments can incur expensive currency exchange rates and extra commissions, as banks usually have additional fees for international transfers. In case you do not come to Germany, due to a visa rejection or have to leave the country earlier than expected, you can benefit from a faster, cheaper and more convenient refund process if you use Fintiba Transfer. You can close your account directly in the Fintiba app. You can read more about this process here. After you have completed these steps, our Customer Care Team will review your closure application with all the documents provided and help you close the account. Once you receive a confirmation that the account has been closed, you will receive your refund faster than with a regular international bank transfer. In your Fintiba account, you will always be informed about the current status of your money.

It is now possible to get your blocking confirmation instantly after you send the full blocked amount with a credit card transfer in one transaction via Fintiba Transfer. Please note, this is only possible if you see the option for a credit card transfer for your country in TransferMate. As soon as you complete the process in TransferMate, the blocking confirmation will be issued in your Documents section and can be used for your visa appointment. A real time-saver for those last-minute appointments!

In most cases, it is possible to pay with a credit card. Once you start the Fintiba Transfer process, you can see the cost and availability of each transfer method and you can select the option that you prefer.
