There is no delay because you filed with TurboTax (it happens with other software vendors).  If you filed a 2019 return & have a refund the IRS will use the banking information from your 2019 return.

 

If you owed taxes, & filed your 2018 or 2019 taxes electronically, that doesn't mean the IRS can direct-deposit the money into your bank account. You must have also received a refund in those years via direct deposit to get the money delivered automatically.
 
The IRS is not using bank account information it may have used to withdraw from your account if you owed money.
 
Also, if you filed a 2019 return you cannot update your banking information with the Get My Payment.  The following is under the explanation of the Get My Payment.
 
Update your bank account or mailing address
