If you made the transfer during one of these time windows:
You can expect to see it reflect on that same day when the window has closed. This is usually within 1 hour after the close of that time window, but to be safe, give it at least 2 hours.
If you made the transfer after one of these time windows:
Your transfer will go through on the next close of the following window.
It's important to remember that weekends and public holidays are not business days, so if you made the transfer on one of these days, you need to take into consideration that it could take extra time to reflect.
