What time of day does direct deposit hit? Usually, you'll have access to your direct deposit at the opening of business on your payday — by 9 a.m. In many cases, direct deposits hit accounts even earlier, often between midnight and 6 a.m. on payday morning.
This is because some financial institutions update their accounts a few hours after midnight. However, most banks complete the direct deposit before 6 a.m., allowing many consumers to wake up the next day with the funds sitting in their accounts.
One will post your direct deposit as soon as we receive it, up to two days early, based on when we receive the funds from your employer or the other sender.
When will my money be available? The first $225 of your total daily deposits is usually available right away. The rest of your deposit amount will typically be available the next business day (Monday through Friday, excluding holidays) if your deposit was made before 10:00 p.m. Central time.
Funds deposited electronically or by cash are generally available by the business day after the banking day they were deposited. Review your deposit account agreement for policies specific to your bank and your account.
You can check the status of your deposit in your digital banking. Choose your account from the dashboard. Select Available balance on the right. If the deposit is still pending, the Funds held from deposit* section will show the amount held.
Because ACH transfers are processed in batches, direct ACH payments typically take one to three business days to appear in the recipient's account—longer than it generally takes to process wire transfers, credit card transactions, and ATM transactions. No international payments.
The short answer is that you'll typically be able to access a direct deposit by 9 a.m. on the morning of your payday and sometimes as early as midnight. ¹ That said, the exact timing of when direct deposit hits can vary.
Most transactions post at the end of each business day but posting order and times can vary. Business days for banks are generally Monday - Friday from 9am to 5pm, excluding federal holidays. Transactions received outside of these hours, including on weekends, are usually posted on the next business day.
Bacs payments will usually go into an account between 01:00 and 07:00. This is the standard Bacs payment time, so if a payment doesn't arrive by 07:00, it may be processed the next working day.
Simply log onto your bank account profile and look at your checking account or savings account history. Depending on when payment was sent, your money could come up as pending direct deposit in either one of these accounts. Go into your bank account history to check the status of your money.
Funds deposited before 9:00 p.m. ET on a business day will generally be available the next business day. Funds deposited before 8:00 p.m. PT on a business day will generally be available the next business day.
A time deposit is an interest-bearing bank account that has a pre-set date of maturity. A certificate of deposit (CD) is the best-known example. The money must remain in the account for the fixed term in order to earn the stated interest rate.
Occasionally, your deposit may not show up as planned because of a mix-up with the bank. You can look out for this by monitoring your account daily. When you deposit into your account, it should show up in your account history, even if the funds are not immediately available to you.
Transfers typically post to your bank account in 2-3 business days.
Why has my direct deposit not hit yet? If your direct deposit hasn't hit in one to three days, check with your bank. It could be that there is a hold on your account or your account is new or overdrawn, or that the sum is large enough to warrant additional review.
Generally, a bank must make the first $225 from the deposit available—for either cash withdrawal or check writing purposes—at the start of the next business day after the banking day that the deposit is made. The rest of the deposit should generally be available on the second business day.
What time your direct deposit hits depends on the financial institution. Most recipients can expect their direct deposits to be available by 9 a.m. on payday, with many banks allowing funds to be released between midnight and 6 a.m. If your bank allows for the funds to be released sooner, you'll see them then.
Contact the bank. If you are the one waiting to receive a payment, you should contact your own bank with the ACH trace number. You may have to contact the payer for these details. If the payee is the one waiting for the transaction to clear, they should contact their bank.
You can request ACH credits to be processed same-day by using an ach-credit-same-day payment method as the transfer destination. Note that even though the payment is processed the same day, funds will be made available later because of the hold period for possible returns or processing issues.
If the deposit was made before 10 p.m. CT, the rest of your funds are typically available the next business day. If the deposit was made after 10 p.m. CT, more processing time is needed. We'll tell you when the funds will be available on the deposit confirmation screen.
Pending transactions are debits or credits that have been authorized but not yet processed. These placeholders affect the amount of money available in the account. Pending transactions typically take between one and five business days to process.
If you're ever in doubt about whether the money you deposited is available for use, you can simply contact your bank directly and ask. You can also check by visiting your bank's website, using your bank's mobile app or checking your available balance at an ATM.
