This could be due to a couple of reasons:
If none of the reasons above match your situation, send us a message via Internet Banking or call the bank on 67 444 444.
If the account lacks sufficient funds for standard or economy execution, then the payment waiting time is 10 calendar days, whereas express payments are cancelled immediately.
The IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is the customer’s account number in banks and other financial institutions as assigned according to the international ISO 13616 standard; in Latvia it consists of 21 character. Read more about IBAN here.
Use the international payment form to make such a payment.
If the legal name or forename/surname of the payee don’t match the account number (IBAN), then payment to a Swedbank account will not be executed. In case of payment to another bank in Latvia, it will be forwarded to the beneficiary bank that is entitled to either execute the payment based only on the IBAN account number stated or reject the payment.
Make sure that’s you’ve chosen the appropriate payment form when making the payment.
Check:
You can verify that by checking the account balance, account statement or payment history.
A special identifier that the invoice issuer assigns to the payment recipient. The reference is required in order for the payment to be executed. It is rarely used in Latvia.
That’s a specialized number consisting of a maximum of 25 characters. The reference number is assigned by the payment recipient and the recipient automatically gets notified in the accounting system that the invoice has been paid.
To make a domestic or international payment in other currency:
If the account lacks the currency necessary for the payment and/or no coverage currency is specified, then the payment will not be executed.
The reason could be incorrectly specified principal currency in the payment order.
It is currency in the account which is other than the principal currency of the account that will be applied towards covering the missing amount in case the account lacks funds for making the payment.
The coverage currency must be selected when preparing a payment order. Balance of funds in the account may remain there for an unlimited period of time.
Swedbank reserves payments to accounts on the same day and delivers them to the beneficiary bank or intermediary bank on the following business day. The payment execution time depends on the payment currency, type and the beneficiary bank or intermediary bank. See the price list for times and charges of these payments.
Every bank has its correspondent banks depending on the payment currency. Information about correspondent banks is available here.
If a notification that invalid characters have been entered appears, re-check all the payment fields.
The permitted characters are:

Information about the payee’s bank and correspondent bank is not required when making European payments in EUR currency.
When making International payments (and European payments if beneficiary’s IBAN is not specified) and payments in foreign currency, it is necessary to provide information about the payee’s bank (SWIFT code and name) and, preferably, also information about the correspondent bank of the payee’s bank. Detailed information is available to the payee.
AMK, or external payment code, is information required by the state about payments made from Latvia to foreign countries. A three-digit payment code must be assigned for such payments based on the classifier according to the international standards of the payment balance sheet. Payment codes are divided in 9 groups according to standard items in the payment balance.
In the payment history section, verify that the payment has been made and correct details have been specified for it.
A payment is not executed if all mandatory fields marked with asterisk in the payment details are not filled out.
If the payment is returned by beneficiary bank or correspondent bank, then the reason for declining is specified in the detailed information about the payment.
If the payer has chosen the fee to be covered on shared basis, then the payer covers the fee for execution of payment, whereas the correspondent bank’s and beneficiary bank’s fee is covered by the recipient of money.
Yes, the payment will start in 15-20 minutes. If it does not happen, contact the bank by phone on 67 444 444.
If, after making a payment, you cannot find it in payment history or account statement, and also your account balance has not decreased, then most likely the payment has not happened.
Check the “Payment list” section and make sure that the payment has not been prepared with a future date (status - “Awaiting funds”).
