The funds will be posted to your destination account once the funds have been successfully drawn from your source account.

What should I do if I wish to cancel a funds transfer request?

You can cancel your request at any time before the cutoff time (3:00 PM Eastern). Once your request has been transmitted to ACH, you cannot cancel the transaction. To cancel the transaction before the cutoff time, click on the account next to the transaction on the Activity page and follow the instructions.
