For your one-time deposits, your transactions will appear in your RIA account between 3-6 business days.

For Auto Labur, it may take up to 7 business days from your scheduled deduction date for the transactions status to be verified and confirmed by the custodian. Once approved by the custodian, it may take another 3-6 business days for the transactions to appear in your RIA account. The earliest that your Auto Labur may appear in your RIA account is 4 business days after your scheduled deduction date, and the latest is 13 business days after your scheduled deduction date. As Auto Labur processing involves multiple steps and parties (in consolidating intrabank and interbank transactions), periods of increased transaction volume may result in a delay for custodian to approve and for the transaction to appear in your RIA account.
