How to Transfer Money From One Bank to Another: Between Bank Accounts | MintLife Blog
MintLife Blog
As a personal finance writer, I’m often answering questions from friends and family about basic financial principles. When someone is setting up a savings account for the first time, they’ll often ask, “How do I actually move the money from my checking to my savings?” It seems like such a simple concept, but transferring substantial capital almost always involves jumping through some hoops. You can’t just call up your bank and ask them to move the funds, and actively withdrawing and then depositing the money is an unnecessary hassle. If you want to transfer money between bank accounts, here’s the best way. How Banks Transfer Money Every bank uses the the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system to transfer money. When your employer sends your paycheck via direct deposit, they’re using the ACH. The ACH was created in the 1970s as a faster alternative to checks and a cheaper solution than wire transfers. It’s an electronic system that transfers money in large batches overnight. In
