What is an instant payment?
It is a payment sent through a third party, such as The Clearing House's RTP® network or another third party network that provides real-time funds availability to the recipient. Instant payments cannot be canceled or amended after they are sent.
Funds from an instant payment will typically be made available to your account within seconds, 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays.
When are the funds from instant payments available in my account?
When you receive an instant payment the available balance updates immediately. The funds are typically available in the account as soon as Wells Fargo receives the transaction.
Wells Fargo Online® customers may need to refresh the account summary page to get the most current available balance on the account.
Who can send an instant payment?
The sender who originates the payment must have an account with a financial institution that offers the capability to send payments. Wells Fargo Online banking customers with eligible accounts may also send an instant payment to certain participating billers using Wells Fargo's Bill Pay instant payments service. For more information, view the Digital Bill Pay section in the Online Access Agreement.
How do I know who sent the instant payment?
The name of the business or person who sent the payment appears in the transaction description. Special characters (like dollar signs or dashes) may not appear on the description.
