 General -  Disbursement of funds -timeline?

"Once a disbursement has been initiated, and depending on the relationship your bank has with the ACH, it can take up to 10 business days to transfer funds from our bank to yours. Business days are Monday through Friday."

I'm not sure of the "relationship" my bank, The Co-operative, has with the ACH, but I generally have to wait a week (including weekends) from disbursement to having the funds available.

My other half, who works in finance, asserts that this transfer ought to be completed in two-three working days. 

How long does your bank take to transfer your Amazon funds?

I am with the Co-op too - hate banking there but it is the only one which will pay me (as a member of the FSB) to be a customer. My payments show up on the 4th working day after notification to me i.e. routinely on Thursday (based on looking at relatively few recent transactions.)

I think 2 days is optimistic but my personal bank - Nationwide - does achieve 3 quite often.

I notice PayPal disbursements have speeded up considerably lately.

My Amazon ones always take about a week.

Does anyone know what the cutoff time is when a disbursment would move to the next day?

Doesn't it work on the principle of 'working days'? (I don't know whose though; ours? America's? Luxembourgs?)

Yes, but at what time does a working day end - is it midnight, or some time like 3pm set by the banks?

I don't know if there is a universal standard. And it wouldn't apply at weekends, because they are not working days (well they are for me). It may be somewhere in the Participation Agreement... My bank says something like 'Transactionas after 5pm may not be processed until the following day' - similarly cashpoint transactions don't show in internet banking statements. I'm just glad I'm not on the bread line and don't have to worry too much about it.

when a disbursment would move to the next day

The sarcastic answer would be when the little hand. . . . :-)

But more helpfully, the process starts when you start it and usually ends when the money is credited to your account sometime in the early hours of the morning.

Working days are only relevant in that, dispite the whole process being eletronic, nothing happens on weekends and bank holidays.

Put another way, a disbursment made on Thursday and hitting your account the following Thursday will not have taken, as you can be forgiven for thinking, seven days, but only five working days.
