Choose the way you pay
E-invoices
An e-invoice is an electronic invoice sent to an Internet bank which replaces an invoice sent on paper or by e-mail. If you'd like your e-invoices to be paid automatically, you can enter into a standing order agreement when you order an e-invoice.
Standing orders
A standing order is a regular payment of a fixed amount. You can transfer a specific amount or the entire balance of your account, selecting once a day, once a week, once a month or once a quarter as the payment frequency.
Defined payments
A defined payment is a saved, pre-completed payment order with which you can quickly and easily make payments to the same recipient — for example, transferring pocket money to your child.
Money request
This is a pre-completed payment form to which the person making the request can add the desired amount and forward the request to the person they're hoping to receive the money from. Using a generated link, Coop Pank clients can automatically make such payments in our mobile bank. Clients of other banks will find all the information they need from the link (i.e. the recipient's name and account number) to make the payment.
Contact payment
With a contact payment, you don't need to know the recipient's account number to make a payment, just their name and phone number. To ensure that contact payments go through, clients need to link their account number to their phone number. This can be done in the Coop Pank mobile app. All of the bigger banks in Estonia offer and/or accept contact payments.
Biometrics
Biometrics are a form of identification using fingerprints or facial recognition. You can confirm up to 10 payments of max. €100 in a row using biometrics. After that, you'll need to use Mobile ID, Smart ID or your ID card's PIN2 to confirm the next payment. Then you can start using biometrics again. The aforementioned 10 payments include all payments made in both the mobile and Internet banks.
Payment types
Intrabank payments
With intrabank payments, the accounts of both the payer and the recipient are in Coop Pank. For this reason, payments tend to reach their recipients instantaneously.
Instant payments
These are European (SEPA) payments where the recipient's bank has joined the instant payment system.
Payment amount: up to €100,000.
Payments above €100,000 are executed as European payments.
European (SEPA) payments
These payments can be made in European Economic Area (EEA) countries.
International payments
These are any payments which are neither intrabank nor European (SEPA) payments.
- Regular payments are forwarded on the settlement day following the day on which the payment order is received.
- Expedited payments submitted to the bank up to 12:00 are forwarded on the day on which the payment order is received.
- Express payments (EUR) submitted to the bank up to 14:00 are forwarded on the day on which the payment order is received.
How quickly are Coop Pank payments transferred?
Wherever possible we execute payments as instant payments, which reach the recipient's account in seconds. If this isn't possible for technical reasons or the amount is more than €100,000, we execute the payment as a regular European (SEPA) payment. Settlements between banks in the SEPA region take place several times a day. In order for a payment to reach another bank on the same day, it needs to be made by 15:30 on a working day. Payments requiring additional checks may take longer to execute.
Estimated times of receipt:

After 15:30 | After 8:45 the next working day |
* The time at which payments are received in other banks depends on the internal processes of the bank in question.
A SEPA payment initiated on a weekend will reach the recipient after 8:45 the following Monday.
Coop Pank is fully instant-payment capable, meaning we can receive payments sent to us as instant payments as well. If a payment forwarded to us by another bank wasn't sent as an instant payment, the amount might take a little longer to reach the recipient's account as a SEPA payment.

* Times differ in respect of other banks. The times given here are estimates. Precise information can be obtained from the bank that initiated the payment.
There may be exceptional cases where a payment is taking longer to arrive. This can happen as a result of the bank's control systems, technical issues, etc.
