Many payments are delivered within minutes when the recipient is already enrolled with Zelle®.
Transfers submitted by 2:00 PM PST will be processed the same day and will post the next banking day.
Many applications receive a decision quickly after submission, though timing may vary depending on documentation requirements.
The timeline depends on the complexity of the project, required documentation, and property details.
Approved deposits will show in your history for 18 months. Deleted deposits will show for 6 months.
AdelFi requires you to retain the original checks for a minimum of 90 days. Once you’ve determined that the checks have been processed, the amount of time that you retain the originals should be determined by you and your legal counsel.
