Banktransfer instructions for escort bookings
Bank payment instructions: the essentials, explained step by step
Before you send a bank transfer, keep these five rules in mind:
- Your payment is only valid once it is credited to our bank account.
- You must pay from a bank account in your own name.
- The reference should be the date and location of your booking.
- All bank fees are your responsibility.
- For more speed and discretion, consider services such as Wise and other options.
Below we explain each point in detail so you know exactly what to do and what to expect. We share our bank details privately when you book. We do not publish them online, because public bank details make it easier for third parties to recognise or trace transactions.
Details needed to make a bank transfer
Depending on your bank and country, you may be asked for some or all of the fields below. We will send you the correct values, so you can copy them exactly.
- Account holder name
- IBAN
- BIC or SWIFT, mainly for international transfers
- Account holder address, sometimes required for international transfers
- Bank address, sometimes required for international transfers
When we make a payment to you, for example for (partial) refunds, we need the exact same details. A refund can only be made to a bank account in your own name. Refunds are processed within 10 days after your original booking date.
When your payment is considered valid
Your payment is only valid once it is actually credited to our bank account. Statuses such as sent, processing, pending, or on the way are not the same as received. A proof of transfer does not substitute an incoming bank credit.
Bank processing time can vary due to checks, cutoff times, weekends, and bank holidays. Payments between Dutch bank accounts are typically instant or within one business day. Payments from other EU accounts generally take one to two business days. Payments from non EU accounts can take up to five business days.
Name requirement: pay from an account in your own name
Payments must be made from a bank account in your own name. This is required for verification and compliance purposes. If a transfer comes from a different name, it may result in delays, additional administration fees, follow up questions, and the payment not being accepted as valid until the payer is verified.
If you pay from a business account, you are legally required to provide proof that you are authorised to pay on behalf of that company. A Chamber of Commerce extract, such as a KVK extract, is a common example. Until authorisation can be confirmed, we cannot treat the payment as valid.
What to put in the reference
As a reference, please include the date and location of your booking, for example: 11-03-2026, Amsterdam. Avoid names or extra wording such as consultancy fee, as these are more likely to be flagged by (y)our bank. If your booking date and location are still unknown, or you prefer not to disclose them with the transfer, please use your full real name as the reference.
Payment requests and online payment portal
We are often asked whether we can send a “Tikkie” or another payment request link. These bank products are intended for private individuals, not for companies like ours. That is why we are unable to send you a payment request. Because online payment platforms exclude our industry from their services, we also cannot offer an online payment portal.
Bank fees: who pays them, and how to avoid short payments
All bank fees and transfer charges are your responsibility. Transfers from accounts in the EU and from Wise do not create additional fees on our end. However, banks can sometimes charge high fees for other international transfers, especially when currency exchange is involved.
If your bank lets you choose fee options and you select SHA shared, fees can still be deducted in ways that cause the received amount to be lower than intended. If you are unsure, or if your bank does not allow you to choose who pays the fees, we recommend adding a buffer of €25 to €50. This helps prevent a short payment after fees are deducted.
One larger transfer is usually better than several smaller ones
Since banks may charge per transaction, multiple small transfers can cost more than one larger transfer. One clear transfer also reduces administrative work and checks, and avoids confusion when matching incoming payments. If your bank has daily limits and you must split a payment, keep the reference consistent and make the amounts easy to reconcile.
Overpayments and client credit
If you pay more than the amount due, whether to cover potential bank fees or to keep a balance for an extension or a future booking, we add the extra amount to your client credit.
Your credit remains valid for three years. We update your credit within 10 days after your next booking takes place. This also means that payments made for an upcoming booking are only reflected as credit within 10 days after that next booking.
