Announcing same-day transfers with Flourish Cash
October 30, 2024
Estimated reading time: 3 minutes
Flourish Cash† now offers same-day transfers for all account types, giving clients increased confidence that their money will be where they need it, when they need it.|
Same-day transfers
Clients have always had the ability to send and receive money on the same day with Flourish Cash via wire transfers, but the process required manual confirmation and a wire fee. Now, we've made standard ACH transfers even faster, giving clients peace of mind knowing they can always quickly access their cash with free, unlimited transfers.
How fast does it go? On weekdays, if you initiate a transfer before 7am ET then your funds should arrive in your destination account at 2pm ET that same day for both deposits and withdrawals. If you initiate a transfer before 3pm ET, the funds should arrive at 6pm ET.
As always, fund availability is subject to the processing timeline of the receiving financial institution. While funds will generally arrive along the stated timelines, funds may not be displayed or available to clients until the end of the business day for the financial institution. For an overview of transfer request and expected settlement times, see the table below.

Clients can easily initiate a transfer in a few simple steps:
- Log in to your Flourish account
- On the dashboard, click "Manage" next to the account you want to transfer money into or out of
- On the Activity page, click "Make a new transfer"
- Select the accounts you would like to send money from and to
- Enter the transfer amount. Information about the estimated availability will appear below the transfer amount

Earn more, faster
Not only do faster transfers benefit clients who need to move their reserve cash from Flourish to their standard bank account, but it also allows those who want to maximize their interest-earning potential to quickly shift funds into Flourish Cash and begin earning a competitive rate that is more than 9x the national savings account average.#
The ability to quickly start earning interest can be especially useful in the case of an annual bonus, unexpected windfall, or other moments when clients have an influx of funds.
