Once your account has been confirmed, you will receive a deposit during the next transfer period, which (unless otherwise stated in your preferences) occurs on a weekly basis each Wednesday. Deposits are sent on Wednesdays but typically take 1 - 3 business days to reach your account. Most groups will receive their transfers on the Friday of each week. If there is a holiday on Monday, transfers will be delayed by 1 business day.

Updating bank account information:
If your bank account has already been verified and an administrative user saves any change to the account information on memberplanet, this will void your verification status. This is a standard security measure in place to prevent fraudulent activity. Transfers will be paused until the account is reverified. To reverify your bank account, please send a request to our support team and include the following:
- Your name
- Your group’s name
- Nickname for account that needs to be reverified
A team member will reach out to you with information on next steps to have your account reverified. If changes were made to the bank information, such as account number or routing number, you will need to provide updated documents to complete the verification.
