Few things are more frustrating than learning your money transfer did not arrive when expected. Learning how to avoid remittance delays is essential for consistent, reliable support to your family. This guide identifies common causes of delays and provides practical strategies.
Why Remittance Delays Happen
International transfers pass through multiple checkpoints. Consequently, delays can occur due to compliance screening, incorrect recipient details, banking holidays, weekend transfers, currency cut-off times, and technical issues.
6 Strategies to Avoid Remittance Delays
- Double-check recipient details — Verify full legal name matches the bank account exactly. Specifically, for Vietnamese recipients, ensure diacritical marks are correct
- Send during business hours, mid-week — Tuesday through Thursday offers the most reliable processing
- Check holiday calendars — Vietnamese and Australian public holidays affect processing
- Complete KYC verification in advance — Verify identity before urgent transfers are needed
- Use digital platforms over traditional banks — Digital platforms process in minutes, not days
- Keep contact details updated — Outdated phone numbers can cause hold-ups
What to Do If Delayed
- Check transfer status in the app
- Verify recipient checked the correct account
- Contact customer support with reference number
- Check for verification requests you may have missed
- Allow for banking hours on weekends
