How fast does your money move in Sequence?
It depends on the type of accounts involved in the transfer. Here’s the quick breakdown:
Sequence → Sequence
Transfers between two Sequence accounts—Pods or Income Sources—are instant.
Example: Moving money from your Income Source into your Groceries Pod happens right away.
Sequence → External
Transfers from a Sequence account to an external bank account are sent by same-day ACH.
Example: Sending money from your Taxes Pod to an outside bank account will typically arrive the same day (depending on the receiving bank’s cutoff times).
External → Sequence (or anywhere else)
When Sequence needs to pull funds from an external bank account, it takes 2–3 business days.
This timing applies regardless of where the funds end up - whether they’re landing in a Pod, an Income Source, or being passed through to another destination.
Transfer funds immediately
In a last-minute situation where you need money to move right away, you can create a one-time transfer.
This lets you manually move funds without setting up an automation.
Good to know
One-time transfers are non-automated
Transfer timing follows the same guidelines outlined above
You’ll see the transfer status in your activity log, just like any other move
Key takeaway
Inside Sequence → Instant
Out of Sequence → Same day
Into Sequence from external → 2–3 business days
