Transfer Speed TorFX says that the speed of the transfer depends on the currency of the transfer, the destination bank, and the receiving bank, and they promise to transfer funds to the user's account within the same day or two business days of the exotic destination. However, it should be noted that the speed of transfer is heavily influenced by the time it takes for the bank to transfer the funds to the user's TorFx account and the time it takes for the funds to reach the destination bank and be reflected in the user's account, so it can take a total of 3-6 days for the funds to reach the user's account. If the transferring bank is not located in the UK or Australia, it may take longer for the funds to reach the user's account.
