Deposit times and troubleshooting
How long ACH deposits take and what to do if one is delayed.
Last updated June 1, 2026
ACH deposits to your USD balance take a little time to settle, so they are not instant.
How long it takes
- A standard ACH transfer settles over a short number of business days.
- Your first transfer can take longer while the bank link is verified.
- The deposit shows as Pending until it clears, then becomes Completed.
If a deposit is delayed
- Check the status in your transaction history.
- Confirm the linked US bank had enough available balance.
- Allow for weekends and US bank holidays, which can extend settlement.
- If it stays pending well beyond the expected window, contact support.
Tip: Keep the deposit reference so support can trace the ACH transfer quickly.
Email support@boldswitch.ng with the reference if a deposit is stuck. To start a new deposit, see Fund via ACH from a US bank.
