Last updated: 2026-01-12 • Document: Help Center article • Applies to: Retail users
Compliance & processing overview

SEPA transfers and card transactions are processed through our banking and card partners. In some cases, transactions may not be completed due to standard processing checks or account requirements.

Verification required Bank/issuer controls apply Sanctions/AML screening

Payments: SEPA Transfers

Some countries are not supported for SEPA deposits or withdrawals.

Fiat deposits or withdrawals (SEPA) initiated from unsupported countries may be rejected or returned by banks or intermediaries before reaching LightBit’s banking partner.

How SEPA statuses work

A status shown by the sending bank (for example “completed”) may mean the transfer left the sender account, but it does not guarantee receipt by the beneficiary bank. LightBit can only credit deposits that are successfully received and reconciled by our banking partner.

  • Sent ≠ Received (final acceptance occurs downstream).
  • If funds never reach our banking partner, LightBit cannot credit the deposit.
Rejections, returns & timelines

If a transfer is rejected upstream, it is typically returned to the sender automatically. Return timelines are determined by the sending bank and any intermediaries.

  • LightBit cannot accelerate bank returns or override bank-side decisions.
  • Ask your bank for return confirmation and any available return reference/reason code.
Requirements (to avoid delays)

Transfers can be screened by banks and payment intermediaries. Missing or mismatched details can cause delays, rejections, or returns.

  • Sender name should match the verified LightBit account holder.
  • Use the exact beneficiary details shown in your LightBit deposit instructions.
  • Include any required reference/memo exactly as provided.
Unsupported transfer types

Certain transfer types may not be supported depending on partner configuration and your bank.

  • Third-party transfers (sender is not the verified account holder) may be rejected.
  • Some banks do not support required reference formats; ask your bank if unsure.
