when transfering a large sum of money how long does the government put a hold on it before you see it?

No such thing. Your money is your money. You give it (the money) to someone else - it is their money. End of story.\n\nIf the sum is small or large will make no difference. If you gave your friend a check to deposit - then the bank will have a hold (which depending on where it is drawn, can be up to 10 days) on the account until the check has been cleared.\n\nDon't forget (and make sure the bank knows) that it is your (or your friends) money!\n\nGood luck

By borrowing and spending.\n\nI'm not an expert on this but say you have $1000 and you deposit it in the bank.  Now the bank has $1000 and based on current laws, can make loans based on deposits held.  Your friend borrows $900 from the bank that is technically yours and then deposits it back in their own account.  Now the bank has $1900 and $900 of loans.  They can then make another loan to someone else of (say) $800 who also deposits it back at the same bank.  Now the bank has $2700 and $1700 on loan.  This can go on for a long time and the bank has large deposits and plenty of loans.  The only problem is if everyone decides to go get their money from the bank at once.  Here the government comes in to support banks up to a certain point.

Your bank will do it slowly\nA currency exchange will do it (at the airport)\nWestern Union will probably issue you an international money order

Two weeks? That's nothing. The seller had to wait for your check, which is 4 days in the mail. Then at least 3 days, and probably 10 days before the bank would clear the check as good. You didn't mention how they shipped, but unless you paid for 2-3 day shipping it could be 10 days to 2 weeks before you even see it. Relax for a little while longer. Be patient.

Do you have a reciept from the transfer you made? You should have something in writing saying that the money should have been there. Unless you have some proof that the money was supossed to be there I can't think of anything that you can do. I hope you work all this out and Good luck.

You can deposit it through your bank's ATM, provided that they offer that service.  However, you may be delaying funds for longer that "normal", depending on your bank's balancing proceedures.\nYour better bet is to drop the check (in an envelope) in the night depository.\nJust make sure, no matter you choose, that you sign the money order, write your account on the item and include a note/deposit slip instructing what you wish to be done with the funds.

ull get your money. that is fo sho. the gov't will eventually take the money out of the check before that person even gets it. what they dont pay just adds up. my friend, who is 21, and her mom are still getting thousand dollar checks regularly.

I believe I heard they do not have to accept it. But send it in -if you had to go to court that would show you tried rather if they sent in back or cashed it. They can sometimes charge enormous late fees (handing, not enough, interest etc). Which might add up to what you sent in(so you gained nothing)\n  It could be one of those Darn if you do and Darn if you Don't things.\n Try talking with a supervisor first and explain many times they will work it out. \n Just my suggestions for who ever needs it.\n\n\nI see meanest from someone.

Only if you were already enrolled in online banking otherwise you'll have to sign up and wait 24-48hrs before seeing anything about your acct. Depending on your bank (i have BofA) you may be able to see the checks you write as they go through and who has cashed them and what day this all occurred.

Banks will give you a 10 day grace period.  But if they don't receive it, in their hands, on the 11th day, you'll get a late payment.

hard to know...you'd have to ask the bank.  Sounds like it may be accrued interest to the day of the month you are making the payoff and some sort of administrative fee--maybe title transfer fee?

Sure, email me your bank info, and I'll wire you the funds.  Then close your eyes and hold your breath, and wait for the transfer to hit your account.

They don't actually hold it, they wait 10 days to give the money "hold it". They cash it first (send it to the originating bank right away) and wait for the funds to be ok'd to get paid...........to make sure the check is good. Then they deposit the money in your account. If it's bad it comes back bounced or NSF and they notify you.\n\n\n============================

If it was 30 yrs ago..you may be out of luck....the bank that had it may have turned over to the state and the state would have held it for a determined time...if there is no claim the money goes to the general fund.

They will put a "hold" on the deposit.  When the check clears, they take their fees and then you get access to what is left.

If the payment is applied to your account today, then you can. Sometimes it takes a couple of days (especially if you are paying by check or through the mail), then it can take a few days.
