Until what time can we actually receive a regular transfer to Crédit Agricole?
For an external payment, Crédit Agricole applies a processing time limit in the morning, very often set at 10.30 a.m. A transfer initiated and validated before this threshold will be completed the same day.
If it is issued beyond that time, it will be considered the next working day.
