What is Wells Fargo’s settlement process?

Here's how their settlement works:

Wells Fargo provides a comprehensive range of banking and cash settlement services designed to support efficient and timely financial transactions for individuals and businesses. For routine payments, Wells Fargo supports ACH (Automated Clearing House) transfers used for direct deposits, bill payments, and business disbursements. Standard ACH transactions typically settle in 1–3 business days, while same-day ACH is available for qualified payments initiated before daily cut-off times, helping businesses manage cash flow more effectively.
