International payments can be initiated using the same payment form as for domestic payments. The form will automatically adjust to the type of payment based on the details you enter.
Select the "New Order" item in the menu and then click "Single Trasfer". At the top of the form that will open, switch to "To foreign country". This will adjust the form. The fields (and the form's title) will further adapt based on the entered account number (IBAN) or the selected foreign currency.
Initiating account – It is the account from which the payment is sent. It is automatically pre-filled either with the account from which you have accessed the order form or with your primary account. You can select a different account by clicking "Change".
Recipient – The name of the client or company in which the account is registered at the recipient's bank. This information is required by the foreign bank to identify the client. If the recipient's name is missing or inaccurate, the payment may fail.
IBAN / Account number – Provide the account number in the international format (IBAN), e.g. DE11 1111 0000 1111 0000 11.
Amount – Enter the payment amount and select the desired currency. Some fields may change based on the selected currency.
Sharing of expenses – This is typically the default type where the sender and the recipient pay their respective bank fees. Alternatively, you can choose a different cost-sharing option.
LEI (Legal Entity Identifier) – It is a unique code that identifies the legal entity engaging in a financial transaction. It increases transparency within capital markets and in banking. The field is optional.
Email confirmation – Check this box if you want a payment confirmation to be sent to a specific email address.
Transfer date – Click in the field to open a calendar and select the desired transaction date. If no date is entered, the order will be processed as soon as possible.
Template – Check this box to create a new payment order template or update an existing one.
With the "Mark as draft" toggle, you determine how the payment order is saved and when it can be signed.
Save – The order is saved to the "Drafts" folder, which is visible only to you. To process the order, move it manually to the "Signature Folder" where the authorized person can sign it.
Save and new – Saves the order to the "Drafts" folder and automatically opens a blank form for you to create a new payment order.
Save – Use this option if you want to sign the order later or if the order is to be signed by another authorised user. The order is saved to the "Signature Folder" where it is ready to be signed.
Save and new – Saves the order to the "Signature Folder" and automatically opens a blank form for you to create a new payment order.
Sign – This button takes you directly to the order signing procedure. In the first step, you will check that the order details are correct and in the second step, you will sign the order using the George Business mobile app.
This button is unavailable if the "Mark as draft" toggle is enabled.
