If you selected Instant Transfer, you should see the money in your bank account in minutes, but this timeframe may vary depending on the bank. If you don’t see the money in your bank account after a few minutes, contact your bank for more information. Our team members can’t change the status of your transfer.
The Standard transfer typically completes in 1 business day. Sometimes, depending on your bank's clearing process, it may take 3-5 business days. If you transfer money on a holiday, it will take an additional business day for the money to appear in your bank account.
