If the sender has selected next day or express delivery then the recipient will receive the funds 1 business day after accepting the payment. If the sender does not have an option to select a delivery speed; funds will normally be available to the recipient on the next business day if you are sending money to someone who has used Popmoney®before and has selected the automatic deposit option. Funds will also be available on the next business day if you have provided your contact’s account information.

To receive money
When someone sends you money, you will receive an email or text message. If your financial institution offers Popmoney®, you can log in to your account and direct the funds there. If your financial institution does not offer Popmoney®, you can provide your account information at Popmoney.com, and your money will be sent to that account. If you do not provide your account information, the payment will be automatically returned to the sender’s account. Money sent directly to an account will be automatically deposited. No action is required by the recipient.
You will find an extensive list of frequently asked questions when you log into Online Billpay and click on Popmoney®. You can also feel free to contact a personal banker at any one of our offices for questions or assistance.
