How long do ACH deposits into Cash take? (United States)
ACH deposits to your Cash account do not arrive instantly. In most cases, they arrive within 3 business days, but they can take up to 5 business days. ACH transfers do not process on weekends or US federal holidays.
What counts as an ACH deposit? #
ACH deposits include the following:
- Deposits made from a linked US bank account using the Card, Apple Pay, Bank or Card, Google Pay, Bank options on the Cash tab in Phantom.
- Bank transfers sent through the ACH network.
How ACH timing works #
ACH only processes on US business days. Weekends and US federal holidays do not count as processing days.
If you submit a deposit before the daily cut-off on a business day, the processing window typically starts that day. If you submit it after the cut-off, or on a weekend or holiday, the processing window typically starts on the next business day.
Expected timeline #
The expected timeline is the following:
- Most ACH deposits arrive within 3 business days.
- Some ACH deposits can take up to 5 business days.
Examples #
Examples include the following:
- Monday morning: If you submit an ACH deposit before the daily cut-off on Monday, it may arrive as early as Tuesday or within the next few business days.
- Friday evening: If you submit after the cut-off on Friday, processing usually does not begin until Monday, so the arrival window starts from the next business day.
- Weekend or holiday: If you submit on a Saturday, Sunday, or US federal holiday, processing usually begins on the next business day.
