Are there common delays with Wise payments, and what can cause them?

Users have reported varied experiences with delays in Wise payments, often noting that while transfers are typically quick, recent experiences indicate potential hold-ups. Reasons for delays can include the payment type selected (e.g., 'Long Stay' leading to longer processing times due to international routing), issues with new recipients, and banking problems in Thailand affecting multiple users. Some have experienced significant delays (up to several hours) while others report their payments are received almost instantly. Factors such as weekends, the amount being transferred, and specific banking institutions can also impact the speed of these transfers.
