How long does a check contribution take?

It can take 48 to 72 hours from the time we receive your check in the mail for it to be posted to your account and ready to trade.

Keep in mind that your check typically takes 1-2 weeks (up to 14 business days) to arrive at our office after you mail it. Once it arrives and we verify it matches your account details, the 48-72 hour processing window begins.

Funds are usually available the same day your deposit is posted, though your bank may apply a brief hold depending on the amount.
