Important bank transfer expectations

After you add your bank details and set up transfers, new donations that come into your account will go through a verification process, which can take 1-7 working days (weekends and Bank Holidays do not count as working days).

Once they become available, all verified donations held within the account will be automatically sent at the frequency that you choose (daily, weekly, monthly) and will be delivered to your bank account in 2-5 business days.

NB: Please keep an eye on your email inbox (and spam folder) for an email from our team with the subject line, "Important Message from GoFundMe". If you receive it, please respond as soon as possible. Our team will need to work with you to complete further verification before funds can be sent.
