This article will explain the expected timeline once you’ve completed the initial bank transfer setup, along with some of the reasons a transfer might be delayed.
The first step is to complete the process of setting up transfers. This includes sharing your personal and banking information with us and our payment processor, and, in some situations, additional supporting documentation.
Make sure the bank transfer setup is complete and verified
After transfers are successfully set up, you will see a scheduled transfer (showing the estimated arrival date) within your GoFundMe account. The funds will be deposited in your bank account, on average, 2-5 business days from the date they are sent, and your GoFundMe account will show the estimated arrival date.
Note: The transfer speed of 2-5 business days is highly dependent on the processing speed of your bank. Unfortunately, GoFundMe is not able to speed up the process.
Review reasons transfers may be delayed
Transfer is not the full amount
If the transfer is less than you expected, it may be because some donations are still processing. As soon as donations are processed and verified, they are added to your next scheduled transfer. You can read more about that here.
Transfer has been sent, but has not reached bank after 10 business days
If you haven't received your funds within 10 business days after they were sent, and they have not returned to your GoFundMe account, please use this form to contact our team so that we can help you to locate the funds.
Transfer date continues to be rescheduled
If the scheduled transfer date in your overview is continuously pushed back, it is because we need additional information or there is an error in the information provided. Here is more information on how to resolve these situations. If you need help from our team, simply click "Get help" on this page.
