Wire Transfer vs ACH / Debit Card
| Rail | Deposit fee | Processing time | Withdrawal hold | Withdraw back to method |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wire Transfer | $10–35 (bank charge) | Same business day | None | Yes |
| ACH | Free | 3–5 business days | 4 days typical | Yes |
| Debit Card | 1.8%–3.99% | Instant | 2 days typical | Yes |
Wire Transfer is the cheaper rail here ($10–35 (bank charge) vs Free on ACH) — the trade-off is timing or holds, so plan withdrawals around the settlement window instead of paying the faster rail's surcharge.
