Zing supports many currencies. We're adding more currencies for you to hold, send and receive as we grow.
Here’s a complete list of the currencies we currently accept:

Making payments:
For information on the currencies you can send money in, alongside the payment timescales, check out the payment calculator.
Some payments may be sent via the SWIFT network. Check out this article for more information on SWIFT payments.
Receiving payments:
You can receive local payments into your GBP and EUR wallets. A local payment is a payment in the national currency of the country where the sending or receiving bank is located. This means that you can receive funds to your GBP wallet from anywhere in the UK via bank transfer.
You can also receive EUR payments using your EUR wallet details if they are sent as a SEPA payment. The Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) is a mechanism that facilitates the standardisation of electronic payments in EUR across Europe.
SEPA payments can be made by providing your IBAN, however if the Payment Service Provider does ask for the Bank Identifier Code (BIC) you can provide them the following: TCCLGB31
Please be advised, the above BIC is for SEPA payments. At the moment you can’t receive SWIFT payments or payments in other currencies.
