Once payouts are made through our Tipalti system, several factors determine how long it takes for funds to reach your account.
Key Factors Influencing Processing Time
Payment Method: The timeline varies by option—ACH, wire transfer, PayPal, check, etc.
Country & Banking System: International transfers may involve additional steps or banking holidays.
Business Days Only: Payments don't process on weekends or public holidays, except for services like PayPal.
⏱ Estimated Timeframes by Payment Method
Payment Method | Processing Timeframe |
ACH (Domestic, U.S.) | 1–3 business days |
International Wire | 3–5 business days |
PayPal | 1–2 business days after Tipalti approval |
Paper Check (Mail) | 10–15 business days, depending on postal services |
Tipalti Internal Processing | ~1–2 business days after approval |
Sample Timeline
Kingsmen Studio confirms payment via Tipalti—transaction marked "Paid".
Tipalti processes and sends the payment:
ACH: typically completes in 1–3 business days.
Wire transfer: generally reaches the bank in 3–5 business days.
PayPal: funds usually appear within 1–2 business days.
Funds arrive in your account, timing depends on your bank’s or PayPal’s processing schedule.
Note on Business Days vs. Calendar Days
Weekends and holidays can delay transfers—especially for banking systems. PayPal or prepaid payouts may process without being bound by banking hours.
