The following will highlight the payment processing time for different payment methods when you pay suppliers via WayPay. Depending on the funding source you are using and the payment method your suppliers will be accepting, the payment processing time will vary.
Payment Processing Time

Type of Funding Source used,

Supplier Destination and Currency.
Represented below are the different funding sources you can use to pay your suppliers and payment methods that are accepted by your suppliers.
In the following sections, the average processing timeline for every funding source-payment method combination has been explained in detail.
Note - Please keep the following in mind while referring to the processing timelines.
P = Processing Day: the day in which a transaction is submitted and approved for processing by the buying organization.
(P + ‘x’ days) = This represents the total number of business days including the processing day for a payee (supplier) to receive their payment. For example, if a payment is submitted on Monday and the supplier receives their payment on Wednesday this would be defined as P + 2 (Monday (P) + 2 days is Wednesday).
