Fiat Transfer Settlement

How do fiat transfers settle?

Overview

Fiat transfers operate on traditional bank rails, and have settlement times related to the rail in which the fiat transaction is initiated upon.

❗️

All fiat transactions go through a transaction monitoring process and some may be subject to compliance review. In this case the state of the transfer will be reviewing, and timelines will be subject to compliance review schedules.

ACH Processing

ACH's are processed during business days, beginning at ~8am eastern, and continuing through to ~3:30pm eastern. ACH transactions occurring outside of business hours, including in the evenings after 3:30pm eastern or on the weekends, will not be processed until 8am eastern on the following business day.

This schedule applies to both ACH debits (deposits to the platform) and ACH credits (withdraws from the platform), for a bank that has a Reserve account.

🚧

Note: If you have not provided a Reserve to Cybrid, there is a 2 business day hold placed on ACH transactions received.

EFT Processing

EFT's are processed during business days, beginning at ~8am eastern, and continuing through to ~3:30pm eastern. EFT transactions occurring outside of business hours, including in the evenings after 3:30pm eastern or on the weekends, will not be processed until 8am eastern on the following business day.

This schedule applies to both EFT debits (deposits to the platform) and EFT credits (withdraws from the platform). EFT's in Canada take T+2 days, which is approximately two days from the time the EFT was initiated. There is no EFT hold period on the Cybrid platform for EFT's.

Wire Processing

Wires are processed during business days, beginning at ~8am eastern, and continuing through to ~3:30pm eastern. Wire transactions occurring outside of business hours, including in the evenings after 3:30pm eastern or on the weekends, will not be processed until 8am eastern on the following business day.

This schedule applies to both Wire deposits to the platform and wire withdrawals from the platform. Note that Cybrid does not control Wire deposits to the platform, as these are initiated by a counterparty bank. When Wire deposits are sent to Cybrid, and our bank has initially picked up the transaction, the transfer state will show pending as the bank finishes processing the Wire deposit. When the bank has finished processing the Wire, the transfer state will show as completed.
