Lemmy 1 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I am seeing a payment made on my account showing 08/2013. Given that it's the 4th September today and bank transfers take an hour or so, could anyone give me an idea of the time they normally expect to wait after a payment is instigated?

Ed Rooney 3,667 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 We don't know where you are, Lemmy . . . but it always takes a couple of business days for a payment to show up at my bank here in NYC. Link to post Share on other sites
Lynne 3,136 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I doesn't seem to reach my bank until about the 5th or 6th of the month. Should be in tomorrow or Friday at the latest. With the 1st being on a Sunday it probably wasn't dispatched until the 2nd this month. Lynne Link to post Share on other sites
Pearl 982 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 My payment hasn't arrived yet either. I would expect it to show in my account tomorrow. It varies between banks as my colleague always gets hers the day before me. Pearl Link to post Share on other sites
John Mitchell 4,678 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) My transfer is late as well. I put it down to Monday being Labour Day, a holiday (banks closed) in the USA and Canada (although not in the UK and other former outposts of the British Empire AFAIK).

dov makabaw 129 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 It depends on which currency and which country and whether you bank with a clearing bank. Add the bank holiday, Labor Day, to the equation and you have a further delay of a day or so. dov Link to post Share on other sites

toots 0 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Mine should go into my paypal account, but nothing arrived yet. This is my first payout with alamy so I didn't know how long it should take anyway from the time it stated I had been paid. I thought it would go into paypal straight away, but it doesn't appear this way. Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it would go into paypal straight away, but it doesn't appear this way. My direct transfer payments usually show up in my bank account withing 48 hours if the transfer is done by Alamy on a weekday. I've thought of switching to Paypal in order to avoid bank charges ($15), but that would involve further delay. Once the money arrives in your Paypal account, it will probably take another 3-4 days for it to be transferred to your bank account. At least that's what I've experienced elsewhere.

toots 0 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 From paypal money transfer normally takes around 2 working days that's all, and no bank charges or fees to pay. Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Quist 689 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 From paypal money transfer normally takes around 2 working days that's all, and no bank charges or fees to pay. Alamy probably paid the fee. But PayPal will earn on the rate of exchange as it is in their favour. Link to post Share on other sites

chrismid259 13 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Whilst we're on the subject of payments, just a quick question. I sold an image through live news feed back in June 2013 to The Sunday Telegraph - I'm yet to see a payment appear in my Alamy account. As this was my first sale to a newspaper through live news, does anyone have any idea how long payments usually take to appear on Alamy accounts? Link to post Share on other sites
