Find out when QuickBooks Payments deposits customer payments

by Intuit304 Updated 2 days ago

Learn when QuickBooks deposits customer payments into your bank account.

Every day, QuickBooks Payments combines all of your customer payments (both sales receipts and paid invoices) into a single record. This record is called a batch of payments, or more commonly, a deposit. Deposit speeds vary based on the product you use to process payments and the type of payment. 

Are you new to QuickBooks Payments?
We'll deposit your first set of payments (sometimes referred to as a batch) within 5 business days. These early deposits take a bit longer while we set up your account. Once we set up everything, we'll deposit customer payments much faster.

Prerequisites

  • If you process payments in QuickBooks Online, you can check the deposit status of processed payments from QuickBooks Online. For all other products, use the Merchant Service Center.
  • If the merchant manually enters ACH payments, they may be delayed due to extra security checks. Collecting ACH payments from Pay-enabled invoices can help reduce payment processing risks.
  • Credit card payments have their own deposit schedule. If you process a credit card payment before 3 PM PT, we deposit it into your bank account on the next business day. If you process a credit card payment after 3 PM PT, we deposit it into your bank account within 2 business days.

Standard and instant deposit schedules

Standard deposits are processed Monday–Saturday. The exceptions include Thanksgiving and Christmas. Instant deposits are processed daily without exceptions. 

Next-day deposits in QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop

We deposit most credit card, PayPal, Venmo, and ACH payments the next day.

If you process a payment before 3 PM PT, we'll deposit it into your bank account on the next business day. If you process a payment after 3 PM PT, we'll deposit it into your bank account within two business days.

Note: If you're brand new to QuickBooks Payments, your ACH payments will take a bit longer during your first month. We'll send you an email once everything is set up to let you know your payments will process at the normal speed.

Standard deposits in QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, and QuickBooks GoPayment

If you process a payment before 3 PM PT, we’ll deposit it into your bank account within 2 business days. If you process a payment after 3 PM PT, we'll deposit it into your account on the following business day.
