Detailed Transfer Information

Standard Transfers

Standard transfers are processed within two to three 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 $1 and a maximum charge of $25.

Instant Transfers (New)

Instant transfers are electronic fund transfers that are processed and settled almost instantly, typically within seconds, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year round.

Found charges a 1.75 % fee for these transactions (with a minimum fee of $0.50).

Timing and Considerations

Transfers initiated before 10:30 AM Pacific Time are processed that day, which means that Standard transfers will typically settle within two 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).
