Local Transfers

  • What types of transfers can be performed under Local Transfers menu?

    Local transfers are those carried out with banks located on Mauritian territory.

    2 types of local transfers are possible:

    • From one of your own accounts to another.
    • From your account to a beneficiary holding an account with BCP Bank (Mauritius) or to a beneficiary holding an account with another local bank.

    Note: Transfers can be performed in any major currency. 

    • E.g : MUR/EUR/USD/GBP etc.
    • In the case of a foreign currency transfer, conversion rate is automatically that of the day the transaction is performed.
  • What is the processing delay for an internal account to account transfer?

    Any internal transfer (from one of your accounts to another) is instantly credited to your beneficiary account.

  • What is the processing delay for a transfer to a local bank?

    A local transfer is effective on recipient account within 24h, provided it is carried out prior to the cut-off time.

    • A transfer performed before 14h30 will be effective on the same day (D).
    • A transfer performed after 14h30 will be effective on D + 1. (This applies to working days solely and excludes closure time, week-ends and holidays.)
  • I cannot effect a transfer of MUR 200 000 in spite having correctly entered the beneficiary’s data.

    As a security measure, daily threshold is by default set at MUR 100 000 per day.  Should you wish to increase this threshold, please fill in the attached form and drop it directly with your Relationship Manager.

    For any query, our hotline is reachable on 207 1000 from 9 am to 5 pm on week days.
