Ally Bank accounts:

Online transfers between Ally Bank accounts are immediate.

Standard transfers between Ally Bank and non-Ally Bank accounts, requested before 1 am ET Monday – Friday, will take 3 business days.

Transfers eligible for next-day delivery between Ally Bank and non-Ally Bank accounts, requested before 7:30pm ET Monday – Friday, will take 1 business day.

Keep in mind, transfers between banks aren’t processed on weekends and federal holidays, so transfers take longer at those times.

We determine eligibility for next-day transfers based on account tenure (so new accounts aren’t eligible), account activity, and transfer activity such as overdrafts and returns. To combat fraud, we are selective about when we offer next-day transfers.

Between Ally Bank and Ally Invest accounts:

Transfers between Ally Invest accounts are processed between 8 am ET and 3:55 pm ET, Monday – Friday. During this time:

• Transfers from Ally Bank to Ally Invest accounts take 1-2 minutes
• Transfers from Ally Invest Self-Directed to Ally Bank accounts take 1-2 minutes
• Transfers from Ally Invest Managed Portfolio to Ally Bank accounts can take up to 5 business days since we have to rebalance your portfolio

While a wire transfer is a fast, secure method of delivering money, wires are, universally, not delivered instantly.

If you're requesting same-day delivery, we have to fully review wires before 3 pm ET. We'll need time to review your wire, so be sure to send it as early as possible. Fully-verified wires are sent by 6 pm ET. Keep your phone handy, as we may need to call you to verify your information.

Wires that are not fully verified by 3 pm ET will continue to be processed the next business day. Delivery delays may also occur if a wire is requested after 3 pm ET, on a weekend, or on a weekday followed by a bank holiday, as wires are not processed during these times.

After submitting your wire transfer request, you can track its delivery progress here. We'll also send email status updates on your wire's progress, including an email when your wire's been delivered.

Keep in mind—a wire must be reviewed and verified before delivery. Keep your phone handy, as we may need to call you to verify your information. An email alert will be sent, as well.

We receive a large volume of wire transfer requests, which are processed in the order they’re received. As such, individual wire transfers cannot be expedited.
