ESD payment processed but not showing in bank account - normal delay?

This happened to me twice since January. First time it took 2 business days after showing as paid on ESD, second time it was 3 days. I think it depends on your bank too. Some process ACH transfers faster than others. I wouldn't worry yet unless it's been more than 3 business days.

mine took 4 DAYS once!! freaked me out but then suddenly showed up. esd is so inconsistent sometimes its crazy.

The same thing happened to me last month. The timing depends on when they process the payment batch and your bank's ACH processing schedule. First payments sometimes process differently than recurring ones. If you're worried, you can call ESD to confirm the payment was actually issued. But fair warning - getting through to an agent is nearly impossible these days with their phone system. I spent 3 hours on hold last week and got disconnected twice.

DONT PANIC!!! Sorry for the caps but I literally just went through this exact scenario. ESD payments sometimes take 2-3 business days to show up in your account EVEN THOUGH the ESD website shows paid. My first payment was instant too which is why I freaked out about later ones. It's just how their system works sometimes. Also keep in mind that if there's a holiday or weekend involved, that can slow things down too.

This timing difference is actually normal with ACH transfers. First payments are often processed differently (sometimes as a test transaction) than subsequent payments. What's happening is that ESD has initiated the payment, but it's still in the banking system pipeline. Few things to be aware of: 1. Most banks don't process ACH transfers on weekends or holidays 2. Some banks hold deposits for 24-48 hours before showing them as pending 3. ESD processes payments in batches, not individually If it's been less than 3 business days, I wouldn't worry yet. If it goes longer than that, then you should contact ESD to verify the payment was properly processed. You can check your payment history in eServices under "UI Claim" and look at the Payments tab to see the exact date it was processed.

Quick update - my payment from Monday just hit my account this morning. It took exactly 2 business days as others have mentioned. Hope yours comes through soon!
