Does ‘On-Demand’ Mean Instant?

On-demand transfers are not instantaneous and in fact, have very little to do with the speed of a transaction. An on-demand transfer occurs after a user gives a business the authorization to initiate a bank transfer to debit their funding source. On-demand bank transfers are commonly used by companies with usage-based business models, such as utility companies, who can debit their customers after collecting their prior authorizations and without having to wait for customers to create transfers themselves. These transaction timelines can be shortened using Same Day or Next Day ACH transfer timing to avoid missed deadlines.
