ACH vs Debit Card / Wire Transfer
| Rail | Deposit fee | Processing time | Withdrawal hold | Withdraw back to method |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ACH | Free | 3–5 business days | 4 days typical | Yes |
| Debit Card | 1.8%–3.99% | Instant | 2 days typical | Yes |
| Wire Transfer | $10–35 (bank charge) | Same business day | None | Yes |
ACH is the cheaper rail here (Free vs 1.8%–3.99% on Debit Card) — the trade-off is timing or holds, so plan withdrawals around the settlement window instead of paying the faster rail's surcharge.
ACH-specific notes
ACH is a US bank rail. Standard deposits are often free and post in one to three business days. Some venues let you buy before the ACH fully settles, then place a withdrawal hold of several days. Instant ACH, when offered, is a different product with a fee.
What we check on this page: whether the venue lists ACH, US eligibility, and the Fiat & Payments weight. Deposit fee, settlement window, withdrawal hold, per-day limits and Instant ACH availability still live in each review. We do not invent a hold length we did not copy from the venue.
A cheap spot fee with a five-day ACH hold can still be the wrong choice if you need to move coins today. Same-day Instant ACH usually costs more than standard ACH. Wire is faster and dearer. Card is fastest and usually the most expensive.
