How late in the evening can I make transfers?

The transfer cut-off time is 5 pm EST, Monday through Friday, and does not include holidays or bank-declared holidays.

If I get an error message during the transfer, what should I do?

Before immediately “reloading” the transfer, check the account the transfer was drawn on, and then check the account status of the account where the funds were transferred. If no debits or credits appear on your accounts, the transfer was incomplete. Only then should you “reload” the transfer.

Account information is real time. When transfers are made online, the debit and credit will appear in each account once a confirmation number is given by the system.
