When you're a professional, the first thing you look for is sales. We watch it evolve day after day, month after month. You analyze it. You break it down to find out where it comes from. We congratulate ourselves, or look for solutions to improve it. Then, the second thing we look at carefully is the account statement. After all, generating sales is all very well, but getting paid is what keeps your business going and helps to boost your cash flow.

If your customer's credit card won't work, opt for a bank transfer!
We're all pretty familiar with bank transfers. It's been around for a long time, and can be made from any bank to any other bank. Don't forget to add your Anytime IBAN to your invoices for easier payment.
How do transfers work?
Transfers can be made at a branch or online, from your secure account or a financial application. Transfers can be programmed or carried out in real time. To make a transfer, your customer must have your IBAN. Transfers can be made to or from abroad, and are particularly secure. There is always a record of the transfer. Anytime provides its customers with a dedicated nominative IBAN, and you are alerted in real time as soon as funds are credited to your account.
When should a bank transfer be prioritized?
Some banks charge a fee for transfers, especially international transfers. At Anytime, international transfers in the SEPA zone are included in your package at no extra cost.
Please note that transfers are non-repudiable. In other words, unlike a credit card payment, it is irreversible and cannot be contested. There is also a time limit for the transfer to take effect. This can range from 24 hours to 4 days, depending on whether the transfer is internal to the bank, external or international.
