Foreign payment
How to use this window
A foreign payment can be used for payment from a current account of which the user is the owner or for whose administration the user was authorised by the account owner. At the same time, administration via the MojeBanka Business service must be permitted for the account. The payment can be made from a current account in CZK or foreign currency.
Using the Foreign payment screen, a payment in foreign currency or in CZK to a foreign account or a payment in foreign currency to another bank in the Czech Republic can be entered or amended.
"Urgent" payments (the value date is the same as the entered Due date), or "Express" payments (the value date is the day following the entered Due date) can be entered. The value date is the date of recording to accounts of another bank at KB or to accounts of KB at another bank; the Due date is the date Komerční banka records the order to the payer's account at KB. Urgent payments can be created in selected currencies only. Payments to KB Bratislava may be sent as "Express". Payments in any of the currencies shown in the list can be created as express. Note that for AUD and JPY, the value date is postponed by two days from the due date due to the different time zones.
Description of some terms (such as Header, Notifications, variable and others symbols etc.) can be found in the glossary or in FAQ.
Latest times for sending foreign payments in order to keep the due date of the current Business day:
Mode of payment processing | Currency of payment | Latest time to be sent (Business day)(v Obchodní den) |
Urgent | HRK, HUF, PLN | 10:00 |
Urgent | RUB | 11:00 |
Urgent | CHF, CZK, DKK, NOK, SEK | 13:00 |
Urgent | EUR, USD, CAD, GBP | 14:00 |
Expres with conversion* | any | 17:00 |
Expres without conversion* | any | 20:30 |
*) Express with conversion – the debtor's account currency is different from the payment currency.
The table does not include payments to the target bank of KB Bratislava. Payments to the target bank of KB Bratislava in EUR, CZK and USD received by 15:00 and payments in other currencies (with the exception of AUD, HRK and JPY) received by 14:00 will be paid into the creditor's account right on the current business day; otherwise, they will be paid in on the next business day.
For details about foreign payment transactions, see https://www.kb.cz/en/individuals/accounts/cash-payments-checks. This page also provides information about payments in CNY and payments to Russia in RUB (including the sample order).
Note: If the currency of the payment is different from the currency of the beneficiary's account, the beneficiary's bank may convert it to the beneficiary's account currency using the exchange rate of the beneficiary's bank.
All types of foreign payments are processed using the multi-round processing system. Transaction status can be verified on the List of orders window.
In transaction history, non-accounting data of recorded foreign payments are displayed in the following form:
If a newly opened account is used, the active operation may be executed no sooner than after two Business days from opening.
Information about conversion transactions: If a user enters a conversion transaction, the bank will use the exchange rate valid at the moment of effectiveness of the order, even in case it is settled within multi-round processing. The time of acceptance of the payment order by the Bank has no influence on the used exchange rate. For recording, the exchange rate valid at the moment of accounting of the order is used, so it could differ from the rate valid at the time of acceptance of the order. This means in case of insufficient funds during the day, when the order enters multi-round processing, the order can be recorded with a rate different from the rate valid at the moment of entering the order. If the user does not want to record the order with the later rate, he/she can cancel the payment in the status of awaiting processing and create it later, when there are sufficient funds in the account. A valid exchange rate list is available on the www.kb.cz website or directly in services of direct banking. The bank will account (settle) conversion transactions with future due dates and conversion transactions entered on the due date earlier than the beginning of a business day on their due date – using the exchange rate valid at the moment of processing, usually after 8:00.
