Initiation schedule

Once set up, auto-transfers are triggered between 3:30-4:30 AM ET on business days. Any auto-transfer scheduled for a weekend or banking holiday will trigger on the previous available business day.

Payout schedule

Auto-transfers from external bank accounts land within 2-4 business days. Auto-transfers from checking, treasury, or vault accounts typically land within 1 business day.

If your automatic transfer fails, you’ll receive an email that tells you the cause of failure and how to fix it. While the failed transfer won’t reinitiate, it’s important to address the problem to make next week’s automatic transfer successful. If your transfer fails due to insufficient funds, you’ll be prompted to add more funds to your designated external account. If your transfer fails due to a broken bank connection, you can reconnect it. If your transfer fails due to your account’s ACH debit limits, you’ll need to lower your automatic transfer threshold. You can also contact Brex Support for assistance.
