Bank Transfer

What is Bank Transfer?

Bank transfer is a generic term that refers to moving money from one bank account to another. For this article, we will focus on online bank transfers.

Company

The first form of wire transfer as we recognize it today was completed in 1872 by Western Union and was supported by its telegraph network. The process involved visiting the telegraph office with the cash amount one wanted to send. The agent at the office would then transmit a telegraph message to the destination office with instructions on the amount to be paid and to whom.

Today, online bank transfer is a common payment method for online shopping, casino betting, bill payment, and other transactions.

How it Works

A bank transfer involves sending a request to your bank to transfer money from your account to another entity’s bank account (in this case, your online casino). These kinds of bank transfers happen online, so you no longer need to bother with IBAN or BIC codes as was the case in the past.

If the casino accepts bank transfers, you will be directed to a separate page where you can “communicate” with your bank directly to send funds from your account to the casino.

Tips on using Bank Transfer

Bank transfers are among the most convenient and safest ways to make online casino payments. A few quick tips should help you to make the most out of this payment method.

Authentication data

Make sure that you confirm all the details before authorizing the transfer, even if these details are already present in your online casino account. Getting your money back after authorizing a bank transfer can be very difficult.

Spending

Make sure that you have sufficient funds in your bank account before depositing money into your casino account. The transaction may be rejected, or worse still, you may incur high overdraft fees for moving more money than you have in your account. It is also a good idea to check your bank statements every month to keep track of how much you transfer.

Shopping online

Bank transfer is a great way to shop online in case you do not have a credit/debit card or e-wallet option. You might even find that paying for online purchases via bank transfer is cheaper than using a credit card. Just make sure that you transact with reputable merchants, as this form of payment involves entering your financial data on the internet.

Speed

Although not instantaneous like some of the other payment methods, it is still a lot less hustle than physically going to the casino cage. Depending on the casino and bank account, it is not unusual for these transactions to be processed in under half an hour.

Privacy

Wire Transfer

Bank transfers can take up to a few days for the money to show up in your casino account. If you need to fund your account instantly, consider using wire transfer. Although not as widely accepted by NJ casinos as ACH and online bank transfers, wire transfer is a good option for funding your casino account instantly from your bank account.
