How long for TWC payment to appear on ReliaCard? First time direct deposit user

The first payment to your ReliaCard usually takes 2-3 business days to process after TWC releases the funds. If your payment request was just processed yesterday, I wouldn't worry yet. Once the card is activated and you've received your first payment, future deposits typically appear within 1-2 business days. Make sure you've activated your ReliaCard - they should have mailed it to you. You can check the status of your payment on the TWC portal under Payment Information.

congrats on making the switch! paper checks are such a hassle lol. my payments usually show up like 1-2 days after TWC processes them. sometimes its there next morning, sometimes takes a full 48 hrs. you can download the reliacard app to check balance too

THEY ALWAYS TAKE FOREVER WITH THE FIRST PAYMENT!!!! My first one took almost 5 business days and I was FREAKING OUT. Called TWC like 20 times and couldn't get through to anyone. After the first one though, my money shows up super fast now, like 1 day after. But that first one is always slow for some reason. The system is so broken!!!

If you're in a hurry to speak with someone at TWC to confirm your payment status, I'd recommend trying Claimyr. After struggling to get through to TWC for days about my ReliaCard issue, I used their service and got connected to a TWC agent in about 15 minutes. They basically call TWC for you and when they reach an agent, they connect you. Saved me from constant busy signals and hold times. Their website is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U?si=kNxmh025COIlIzKh

Here's the actual timeline from TWC policy: 1. TWC processes your payment request (what you're seeing in your account now) 2. Funds are released to U.S. Bank (usually within 24 hours) 3. U.S. Bank processes the deposit to your ReliaCard (1-2 business days) So total time: 2-3 business days for first deposit, potentially faster for subsequent ones. Remember that weekends and holidays don't count as business days. If it's been more than 3 business days since your payment was processed, then I would call TWC to investigate. You can also call the ReliaCard customer service number on the back of your card to verify if they see a pending deposit in their system.

when i got my first reliacard payment it never showed up and i had to call them turns out they sent my card to wrong address even tho i updated my address with twc!! make sure the address on ur twc account matches where they sent the card

Anyone else think it's RIDICULOUS that in 2025 we still have to wait days for electronic transfers?? I can Venmo someone money in seconds but somehow government benefits take DAYS to process. The system is designed to keep us struggling, I swear.

Just a quick update for you - I spoke with a TWC rep yesterday about something else and specifically asked about ReliaCard timing. They confirmed that the first deposit is always slower (2-3 business days) because they run additional verification checks. After that, it should be consistently faster. Hope this helps ease your mind!

Quick tip: Once you start receiving regular deposits, set up account alerts in the ReliaCard app. You can get text messages whenever a deposit hits your account. Really helpful for planning bills and knowing exactly when funds are available.
