The amount of time it takes to send money to the US depends on the transfer and payment method you choose.

For example:

• If you send money for cash pickup at an agent location, it can arrive within minutes⁵.
• A Direct to Bank deposit typically takes between two and five business days but could vary depending on bank processing times.

You can send money to any US state for cash pickup. Your receiver can then pick up their cash at any agent location within that state. If you need to change the pickup state after you’ve confirmed the money transfer, you must request a payout location change. Contact customer care to complete a location change.

• Your receiver’s first and last name as it appears on their ID.
