What is the cutoff time for ACH?

The daily cutoff time for sending an outgoing ACH is 3 PM EST.

Same-day ACH transfers sent after this time will be sent the next day, and standard ACH transfers will be initiated the next day.

How long does it take for a Same-Day ACH to process?

Same-day ACH transfers should arrive the same day when the transfer is submitted before the 3 PM EST cutoff time.

Crowded cannot guarantee that Same-Day ACH payments will be posted by the receiving bank on the same day. The receiving bank may have its own cut-off times and processing procedures that could delay the posting of the payment, even if they receive the payment file from the Federal Reserve before its cut-off time.
