So this week we got our first “24 hour payout”.

Sunday 10/04/2026 11:58pm Amazon sent email payout notice.
Monday 10/05/2026 the Disbursement hit the new Manage Transaction page.
**** Note: the old Payments Transaction View still does not show this Disbursement as of 10/07/2026
Tuesday 10/06/2026 the Disbursement showed as pending in our bank.
Wednesday 10/07/2026 the Disbursement showed as completed (available) in our bank.

So for us, the “24 hour Payout” takes 48 hours plus a little to complete. That is only 24 hours sooner than the old way which took 72 hours plus a little to complete.

Our payout is on a Sunday so a person with a Saturday payout would wait also wait until the following Tuesday PM Wednesday AM bank processing for their payment to be complete.

What would be interesting to know is, if your payout is on Monday, does it clear the bank Monday PM Tuesday AM or does it clear the bank on Tuesday PM Wednesday AM?

Some of this is the receiving bank. My last 2 payments were supposed to be the 24 hour payout but took the same 2 days as before to hit my account. I checked to see if my bank was on the list of those that are eligible for 24 hour payouts (there is a link to bank routing numbers) and it is but I’m still not getting them in 24 hours. I know this is my banks issue as the payments post as “processing” if I look at the account, it’s just not available. That’s not Amazons fault, it’s my bank taking their time to receive payment.

I got my payouts on Fridays, and it looks similar as your Sunday payouts. Here is what happened:

the old system: 10 AM on Friday, Amazon initiate the transfer
10 AM on Saturday, send to Amazon bank provider
5:45 AM on Monday, Ackno­wledge­d by Amazo­n’s bank provi­der
sometime on Tuesday, Money available in my bank acct.

the new system: 10 AM on Friday (9/25), Amazon initiate the transfer
10 AM on Saturday (9/26), send to Amazon bank provider
10 AM on Saturday (9/26), Ackno­wledge­d by Amazo­n’s bank provi­der
On Monday (9/28), money available in my bank acct

So with the new system, the money is available in my bank account one day earlier than the old system. Also, Amazon finished their part of transfer in 24 hours.

I have been taking mine daily because I don’t want Amazon sitting on my money. After the first one (took two days) but since then it has been one day.

I took one yesterday at 8:40am (my time) and it is in my bank this morning!
