Online fund transfers in Europe to our correspondent bank account are construed as “International Transfers” considering that the ultimate beneficiary is based outside Eurozone. On selecting ‘domestic transfer’ or through ‘Single Euro Payment Area – SEPA mechanism’ only domestic payments can be initiated wherein the beneficiary is based in Eurozone, thus payments made via this route are being returned. Customers should credit Axis Bank account only by selecting “International Wire Transfer”.
