You will receive a payment confirmation on your U.S. Bank mobile or online banking screen as well as an email from U.S. Bank when the RfP payment is received by the biller.

Instant external transfers

The instant transfer option allows you to transfer money between your U.S. Bank accounts and eligible accounts you hold at other financial institutions any time you want using the Instant payment network. This action transfers your money immediately, so the funds will typically be available in a few moments.

There is no fee for instant transfers to or from your external account.

Currently, you can only send or receive transfers from external banks who are part of the U.S. instant payment network. The instant transfer option will only show as available if your external bank is eligible. If an instant transfer isn’t possible, you can still transfer money using the standard (ACH) one to three day speed.

For inbound transfers (from accounts at another financial institution to your U.S. Bank account), RfP is an instant transfer request that you can send anytime from U.S. Bank to your eligible external bank account. Your external bank will ask you to review and approve via an alert notification. Once you approve the transfer in your external bank, money will instantly transfer to your U.S. Bank account.

When you initiate an instant transfer using RfP at U.S. Bank, you will have five days to complete the transfer through your external bank. If you do not complete the transfer, the request will expire and you will need to initiate a new RfP request at U.S. Bank.

  1. From the online banking dashboard, select Transfer & pay, then Transfers and then Linked accounts. From the U.S. Bank Mobile App, select Transfer & pay and then Manage external accounts. 
  2. Select Link a new bank account. 
  3. When asked, “How do you want to connect your account?”, select Share your account info. 
  4. Follow the prompts to enter the information for your external account and complete verification.

External transfer limits apply to the amount you can send or receive for each transaction and include all outstanding transfers. After linking your external account in mobile or online banking, you can view your external transfer limits on the Let’s start your transfer screen by selecting More about transfer limits.

For an inbound instant transfer via RfP, your external bank may have a different RfP payment limit.
