Featured image for Payment Cutoffs and Processing Timelines

Mo processes transactions across various fiat and crypto rails. While crypto rails operate 24/7/365, fiat payment networks (like ACH and SEPA) follow standard banking days and hours.

Fiat Processing Windows

Transactions submitted before the cutoff time are processed the same business day. Those submitted after the cutoff or on non-banking days will be processed the next business day.

Important Considerations

  • Large Transactions: Transfers over $500,000 may require an additional hour for processing across all rails.
  • Risk Reviews: All onramps (deposits) are subject to compliance reviews, which may add up to one business hour to the processing time.
  • Banking Holidays: Fiat rails do not process on weekends or bank holidays in their respective regions (e.g., US Federal holidays for USD).

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I miss the cutoff? Your transaction will be automatically queued and processed at the start of the next banking day.

Why is my crypto transfer taking longer than 30 minutes? Network congestion or additional internal risk reviews can occasionally extend the processing window.

Are there limits for Same Day payments? Yes, Same Day ACH (USD) is limited to $1 million per transaction. Amounts above this will process via Next Day ACH.
