How long does a 10,000 e-transfer take?

Okay, so you’re wondering how long a $10,000 e-transfer takes, huh? I get it, that’s a pretty big chunk of change, you want to know when it’s going to arrive!

From my experience, usually, a big e-transfer like that – we’re talking about $10,000 – usually hits the recipient’s account within 30 minutes. That’s the typical timeframe, anyway. I remember once sending a similar amount to my brother when he was buying a used car. I was biting my nails waiting for him to text me saying he got it so he could finalize the deal, but sure enough, about 25 minutes later he called, all happy and excited!

But here’s the thing, and I think this is important: That’s generally the average. Sometimes it can be faster, sometimes, well, a little longer. The person getting the money? They’ll get an email or a text message – whichever you set it up as, right? – letting them know it’s there and giving them instructions on how to actually deposit it. So, it’s not like the money magically appears! They still gotta click a link and answer the security question and all that jazz.

So, yeah, keep in mind that things like the time of day, if it’s a weekend or a weekday, and even which bank both you and the recipient use could affect the timing slightly. I wouldn’t stress too much though, okay? Generally, you should be good to go in about half an hour!
