How long does direct deposit take once sent?
One of the biggest benefits of direct deposit is that it happens very quickly, usually one to three days but sometimes up to five business days. This varies depending on who is actually sending the funds and may even get faster in the future. (Learn more about transferring money from one bank to another.)
What should I expect from my direct deposit account?
Ask your employer what to expect so that you don’t look for your payments in the wrong place. Once everything is set up, your payments will arrive in your bank account automatically. Be sure to check the available balance in your checking account before you try to spend any of that money.
Is it too late to change your bank account for direct deposit?
Once your return has been accepted (or mailed), it’s too late to change your bank account for direct deposit.
