Detailed Transfer Information

Standard Transfers

Standard transfers are processed within one to two business days and are completely free of charge. This option is ideal when you’re not in a rush to move your funds and prefer to avoid any transfer fees.

Express ACH Transfers

Express transfers are designed to deliver funds more quickly. Depending on when the transfer is initiated, funds may arrive the same business day or by the next business day. Express transfers carry a fee of 1% of the transfer amount, with a minimum charge of $0.50 and a maximum charge of $25.

Instant Transfers

Instant transfers deliver funds within minutes, at any time of day, every day of the year — including weekends and holidays. This option is available when the receiving bank supports instant transfers; if it doesn't, only Standard and Express appear. Instant transfers carry a fee of 1.75% of the transfer amount, with a minimum charge of $0.50 and a maximum charge of $50. Once sent, an Instant transfer is final and can't be reversed.

Timing and Considerations

Transfers initiated before 11:15 AM Pacific Time are processed that day, which means that Standard transfers will typically settle within 1-2 business days, while Express transfers often arrive the same day.

Be sure to be mindful of weekends and bank holidays. If you initiate a transfer on a Friday afternoon, you can expect to see those funds settle the following week, regardless of the method chosen (except for Instant transfers, which process 24/7).
