We can credit you for your AbeBooks Ecommerce orders via weekly bank transfers if your bank is in one of the above countries. Please enter your banking details in your AbeBooks account.
If your bank account is not in one of the above countries but is still within the European Union, we can make monthly bank transfers to you at no cost. Please contact us with the following details:
- Bank name & address
- BIC / Swift Code
- IBAN (International Bank Account Number)
- Name & address of account holder
If your bank is outside the European Union, we can send payment via monthly cheque or monthly international bank transfer.
It usually takes up to 2 weeks after you receive your payment notification to issue monthly cheques. Payment cheques more than 2,000 Euros will be sent by courier to ensure prompt delivery. Payment cheques less than 2,000 Euros will be sent by standard mail. To shorten your waiting period, you can choose to have your cheque sent via courier at a maximum cost of 23 Euro. Please contact us if you prefer shipment by courier for your cheques.
Alternatively, you can receive payment by monthly international bank transfer. If you would like payment via monthly international bank transfer, please contact us with the following details:

- Name & address of account holder
Please Note: You will need to bear the cost of the international bank transfer. It will be deducted from the gross amount before payment is sent. Unfortunately, fees vary and we do not know how much they will be in advance. Please keep in mind that your bank may also charge you for receiving an international bank transfer.
