End of overlay Sending money has never been easier. If you want to transfer money to someone else’s bank account, there’s a wide range of methods that you can use. Some traditional payment methods require the recipient’s full name, account number, and routing number, while alternative options only require an email address. The banking industry has changed significantly in the last decade. To meet the needs of modern consumers, these financial institutions have had to embrace modern solutions such as online banking, mobile apps, and online payment tools. Here, we’ll delve into traditional and modern money transfer solutions to help you make well-informed banking decisions. Bank-to-Bank Money TransferHere are different types of wire transfers:
Fees: Wire transfer fees can range from $10 to $50. ACH transfers usually cost nothing, while peer-to-peer payments cost less than in-person bank transfers. PayPal, for instance, won’t charge you anything for transferring money within the US using your PayPal balance or bank account. However, PayPal has extra fees if you use your debit or credit card. Processing time: You’re probably wondering, “How long does it take to transfer money from bank to bank?” The truth is that it varies depending on your preferred transfer method, your bank, as well as your transaction. Domestic wire transfers are instantaneous. The recipient will be able to access the funds you send on the same business day. If you use ACH transfers, it can take an extra day or two for the funds to appear on the receiver’s checking account number. As for international wire transfers, it can take anywhere from one to five business days.
Money Transfer AppsHere are some of the best money transfer apps:
Fees: If you want a cost-efficient way to send funds, money transfer apps are always a great option. They are inexpensive or totally free, especially for domestic money transfers. Processing time: Transaction speeds may vary from app to app. Most of these mobile payment systems offer instant transfer speeds. That means the recipient will receive the funds immediately after you send it.
Online Payment ToolsHere are a few payment tools that you can use:
Fees: Online payment tools may have zero or inexpensive transaction fees. Whether you’re sending money domestically or internationally, you won’t have to spend as much to transfer funds to another person’s bank account or digital wallet. Processing time: Like the apps, these online payment systems allow instant cash transfers. Your recipient will see the funds shortly after you send it to them.
CashBank of America has self-service kiosks where you can send money to another account. However, these ATMs only let you transfer funds between linked accounts. You won’t be able to send cash to another person’s bank account. If you want to send cash directly to a bank account, you can drop by BOSS Revolution’s retail partners. From there, you can send cash directly to a bank account across the world. Fees: Banks may have different policies for self-service ATMs. If you have a Bank of America account, you won’t be charged with a fee for doing an ATM transfer. Processing time: Most banks can process your transfer funds on the same day, especially if you complete the transaction early in the day. Some banks, however, may need two to three business days to process it.
ChecksFees: Banks will charge a fee for cashing a check. The fee depends on the bank, but it is usually a small percentage of the check amount. It may range from one to five percent. If a recipient wants the funds to be available immediately, banks, for example, might take $150 from a $500 check. Processing time: Depending on your bank or the amount of the check, it might take about two business days for a check to clear. The hold time may also depend on your banking activity, as well as your relationship with the bank. If a bank determines unusual account activity, it might choose to hold a check longer. Since banks have to verify the checks, it usually takes longer for international transactions compared to domestic ones.
Money OrdersA money order is prepaid with cash or other funds. If you get one from a bank, you can pay with the funds from your checking or savings account. You can use debit or credit payments if you’re getting a money order from a retailer. Fees: The fees depend on where you’re getting a money order. USPS only charges $1.25 for a money order up to $500. If it’s anywhere from $500 to $1,000, they charge $1.75. If you’re getting a money order at a retail location, the fees can reach up to $5. Take note that cashing a money order may also come with a fee. Processing time: As money orders don’t require bank accounts, you and your recipient won’t have to wait a day or two for the transaction to be completed. However, if a money order is cashed at a bank instead of the issuer, there can be a delay in processing.

How long does an external ACH transfer take?Processing times.
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.
Is an external transfer an ACH transfer?External Transfers allow you to electronically send funds from your personal bank account to an "External Account" at another financial institution. This transaction happens through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system, just like a direct deposit or an automated health club payment would.
What happens if ACH transfer goes to wrong account?Critically, reversals must be initiated by the originator, not the recipient. That means if someone was incorrectly charged an ACH payment, they must contact the person or company who charged them. Reversals should be initiated within 24 hours of the error's discovery and within five days of the original transaction.
Do all banks accept ACH transfers?Which banks allow ACH transfers? All banks in the US can use ACH, as all that's needed to receive an ACH transfer is a valid bank account and routing number. Additionally, payment processors like Square, PayPal, and Stripe also use ACH.
