Transfer

When do you execute my funds transfer request?

Your funds transfer request enters into the ACH system on the business day following receipt of your request, provided you’ve made your transaction request funds transfer execution message by 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.

How long does it take to complete a funds transfer?

For personal customers, funds transfers will be completed same day.

For business customers, incoming transfers take two business days to post, and outgoing transfers are withdrawn same day.

Please note: The completion of a transfer, including the availability of funds in the destination account and access to the transaction details, will depend in part upon how quickly your account is updated after receiving the funds transfer.

The funds will be posted to your destination account once they have successfully been drawn from your source account. Your transaction remains in process for four business days from the day you sent your request.

 

 

What should I do if I wish to cancel a funds transfer request?

You can cancel your request at any time before the cutoff time (3:00 PM Eastern). Once your request has been transmitted to ACH, you cannot cancel the transaction. To cancel the transaction before the cutoff time, click on the account next to the transaction on the Activity page and follow the instructions. If you miss the cutoff time, your best option is to request a second transfer between the same two accounts sending the funds back to its point of origin (in effect, reversing your first transfer).
