How transfers work

Raisin gives you one place to easily manage all your savings, so you can deposit, withdraw, and take your next step without managing multiple bank logins.

Depending on the transfer, funds may come from your linked external bank account or your Cash Account. Your Cash Account serves as a central transaction hub for available funds, helping you move between savings products or transfer funds out when you’re ready.

That means less waiting between steps and more opportunity to keep your money earning interest.

How the Cash Account works

When you withdraw from a high-yield savings account, funds are instantly available in your Cash Account, so you can immediately deposit into another savings product or transfer funds to your linked external account.

Most transfers are processed in 1–2 business days. Timing depends on the type of transfer, where the funds are moving, and when the transfer is submitted.

Daily cut-off time: Non-instant transfers submitted before 3:30 p.m. ET on a business day begin processing that day. Transfers submitted after 3:30 p.m. ET begin processing the next business day.

Business days: Monday through Friday, excluding federal banking holidays.

Instant availability: Funds transferred from high-yield savings accounts and money market accounts are available in your Cash Account instantly. All other transfers follow standard processing timelines.

CDs are held for a set term, so funds are not available to move until the CD matures. On the maturity date, your funds will be available in your Cash Account, where you can deposit into another savings product or transfer out. If you close a CD early, funds are typically available within 1–3 business days and may be subject to an early withdrawal penalty.

Once a transfer is submitted, it can not be canceled. When you initiate a transfer, you’ll be prompted to review the details before confirming, so be sure the amount, account, and destination are correct.

A record of every transfer appears in the “Transactions” section of your Cash Account and savings product account details.

Funds in the Cash Account do not earn interest. The Cash Account is designed to temporarily hold available cash while you decide whether to deposit funds into another savings product or transfer them out.

To keep your savings earning interest, deposit available funds into another savings product.
