How does the Refund Transfer work?Usually 1 to 2 days before a refund is scheduled to arrive, the IRS sends a pre-notification of the refund amount to us. The IRS does not deposit the money at this time, but it is only a notification that the refund is on its way. The transfer bank will set up the disbursement upon receiving the pre-notification so that once the refund is released money reaches the taxpayer's account within 1-2 business days.
