Is it possible to use other banks to transfer payment to Bhutan?

Yes, it is possible but Standard Charted Bank takes less time to process and bank fees are also minimal.

Is my payment transfer safe and how long does it take to reach Bhutan?

It is safe to transfer tour payment to your tour operator through Bhutan National Bank as the payment directly goes to Tourism council of Bhutan which then process your visa upon receiving full tour payment.

The payment is released to the tour operator only after the departure of the guest.
