    Anyone else notice this? When I started turking heavily at the beginning of the month, it only took 24 hours for transfers to my bank to go through. Now, it's really dragging. I have one transfer that I initiated on Saturday that still hasn't been deposited to my bank account yet. Do transfers become less efficient at the end of the month? Should I contact Amazon?

    I know it says to wait 5 to 7 business days, but it's NEVER taken that long before.

    I still have my transfers go in next day if I withdraw by 3 pm. However, I had one large transfer pend for 8 days two weeks ago. For me that's been the only transfer that has taken more than a day.

    I don't think it is amazon, I think it is the bank you are using. Amazon sends an e-mail right away that the payment has been initiated. When I withdraw F-S it hits my account the following Monday, otherwise it is next day

    This has nothing to do with mturk banks are taking precautions due to a large amount of hackers overseas this week.
