Standard Transfers

Standard funds transfers are typically completed within three business days. The completion of a transfer, including the availability of funds in the destination account and access to transaction details, depends how quickly the financial institution updates their accounts after receiving funds transfer information.

Funds are posted to the destination account before start-of-business on the third business day after the funds are withdrawn from the source account. Federal Reserve holidays and/or New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) holidays extend the transaction cycle for standard transactions.
