In most regions, Luno customers have the option to fund their local currency wallets by making a bank transfer or an instant deposit.
Instant deposits will reflect straight away, while deposits via bank transfer will depend on the usual bank transfer times in your region. Once the deposit arrives, you’ll get an email and a notification on your phone.
Note
Bank transfer deposits are not processed on weekends or public holidays.
