One of the most convenient ways to track your money is through your bank's online banking service. Once you've completed a transfer, you can log in to your account to view the transaction status. Most banks provide real-time updates on the transfer status, such as 'processing,' 'pending,' or 'completed. '

This period is often less than 24 hours if transfers are placed before 4 p.m. ET on a business day. Once your transfer processes, you can use your money to trade,¹ but you won't be able to withdraw or transfer funds to other accounts until after the hold period, if one applies.

If the bank initiated the transfer, notify the bank immediately so that it can investigate your claim. If you first contact the bank by phone, it is a good practice to follow up in writing. If you wired the funds through a third party (e.g., Western Union), contact that party to find out what their procedures are.

When you deposit money into your account, the bank needs to verify that the money is in fact real. This process takes time, and is often referred to as a “hold period.” To ensure your funds are valid, a hold is put in place to prevent you from spending money you may not actually have.
