Request for payment

Instant external transfers

The new instant transfer option allows you to send money to your external bank account any time you want using the U.S. instant payment network. This action transfers your money immediately, so the funds will typically be available a few moments after you send it.

No, there is no fee for instant transfers to your external account.

Currently, you can only send transfers to financial institutions who are part of the U.S. instant payment network. If an instant transfer isn’t possible, you can still transfer money using the standard 1 to 3-day (ACH) speed.
