RTC payouts should reflect in the receiver’s account within 1 hour from when Ozow has submitted to the bank. Ozow submits payouts every 15 minutes within the processing times listed above.
The status of a payout is normally updated by 10:00 the morning following submission to the bank, but in some exceptional cased could take up until the end of the day to be updated.
No processing happens on Sundays, or public holidays.
