What is Synchrony Bank's transfer limit?

Synchrony Bank's standard ACH transfer limit is $100,000 per day for transfers into Synchrony and $250,000 per day for transfers out of Synchrony. These are high limits compared to most online banks and reflect Synchrony's role as a savings institution where customers regularly move large sums in and out.

How long does a Synchrony transfer take?

ACH transfers to or from Synchrony Bank typically take 1–3 business days. Transfers initiated before the daily cutoff time (varies, typically mid-afternoon ET) may process faster. New account holders may experience holds of up to 5 business days on initial deposits.

How do I transfer money out of Synchrony Bank?

Log in to synchronybank.com → Transfers → Transfer Money. Select your linked external account as the destination, enter the amount, and schedule the transfer. ACH transfers out of Synchrony take 1–3 business days. Synchrony does not typically offer instant transfer options — for urgent needs, a wire transfer may be required.

Does Synchrony Bank have a monthly transfer limit?

Synchrony does not publish a formal monthly transfer cap. While the former Regulation D 6-withdrawal rule no longer applies, Synchrony may monitor accounts for unusual transfer patterns. For very high-volume transfers, contact Synchrony at 1-866-226-5638 to confirm no restrictions apply to your account.

No Regulation D Restriction

The federal Regulation D rule (which previously limited savings accounts to 6 withdrawals per month) was suspended in 2020. Synchrony does not currently enforce a monthly withdrawal cap on its High Yield Savings Account. However, making frequent transfers (10+ per month) may draw account review.
