EDD Money Network Card transfer delays to external bank accounts - anyone know the timeline?

usually 2-3 busiiness days for me. depends on ur bank tho. sometimes its faster sometimes its not

It typically takes 2-3 business days for a Money Network transfer to reach an external bank account. However, this can vary depending on a few factors: 1. Whether it's a first-time transfer (these can take longer) 2. The receiving bank's processing times 3. Whether you initiated the transfer before or after the daily cutoff time (usually around 3 PM) 4. If you transferred on a Friday, it likely won't process until Monday or Tuesday If your rent is due in 3 days, you might want to consider using the card directly if possible, or withdrawing cash at an in-network ATM. The ATM withdrawal daily limit is $1,025.

When I transfered money from my card to Wells Fargo it took A WEEK AND A HALF!!!! Card said "in progress" the whole time & I had bills due. Called card services 4 times and nobody could tell me anything. Money just magically appeared in my account 11 days later. EDD NEEDS TO FIX THIS SYSTEM. What's the point of having benefits if you cant even access the $$$?

I've been using the Money Network card with my unemployment benefits for almost a year now, and here's what I've experienced with transfers: - First transfer to a new bank account: 3-5 business days - Subsequent transfers: Usually 2-3 business days - Transfers to major banks (Chase, BofA): Sometimes faster (1-2 days) - Transfers to credit unions: Often take the full 3 business days If you need the money faster, I recommend either: 1. Using the card directly for purchases 2. Withdrawing from an in-network ATM (Bank of America ATMs are free) 3. Requesting a cash advance at a bank branch that accepts Visa (though they may charge a fee) Make sure you've verified your email and phone number with Money Network as this can sometimes delay transfers.

I had the EXACT same problem last month trying to reach someone at the Money Network card services. Spent hours on hold and never got through. I was trying to understand why my transfer was stuck "in progress" for 4 days. I ended up using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to connect with an EDD agent who then transferred me to the card department. Got through in about 20 minutes instead of endless hold times. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/JmuwXR7HA10?si=TSwYbu_GOwYzt9km The card rep explained that first-time transfers have additional security verification that can add 1-2 days. Subsequent transfers are faster. Good luck!

your probably not gonna get it in time for rent tbh... my roommate does direct deposit and it's way faster, u should set that up for next time

My Mom had same issue and freaked out about rent $$ but it showed up day 3! Don't panic yet!!!

Ok I need to VENT about this stupid card system! WHY can't EDD just do direct deposits for everyone?? Every other state seems to handle unemployment without these ridiculous debit cards. My sister in Oregon gets her benefits direct deposited in 24 hours!!!

UPDATE: The money finally hit my account this morning! So that was about 2.5 business days total. Thanks everyone for your help and advice. For anyone else reading this in the future, I'd recommend initiating transfers well before you need the money, or using the ATM option if you're in a time crunch.
