Payments made via Apple Cash are credited to your available credit almost immediately. It sounds like you did an ACH transfer between your bank and Goldman Sachs Bank. ACH transfers aren’t made over the weekend, so funds probably didn’t start transferring until Monday. Normally, this would credit within 1 to 3 days from when you pressed the payment button. 


Is your account relatively new, less than 6 months old? Was it a larger payment than you’ve previously made? Is your account near its credit limit? Is your checking account new? There are probably a dozen other factors that affect when your payment is credited to your account’s available credit. Banks will delay crediting the payment when they are at risk of fraud. Legally, they have 30 days to credit the funds. 


I would chat or call Goldman Sachs and inquire about the availability of funds. If you ask, they may release all or part of the funds. They are not required to and it’s a goodwill gesture. Please use the contact information below. 


Just as an FYI, your bank has up to 30 days after payment to request return of funds for your payment. Many people believe that once the funds are withdrawn from their bank, it’s paid. But that’s not the way it works. This means I can have a $5000 credit limit, spend it, make a payment of $5000 and spend that. I’ve spent $10000 of the banks money and now I can skip. The original payment bounces or my bank demands it’s return to cover other withdrawals and Goldman Sachs is out $10,000. This happens everyday, but on a large scale. Banks are careful with their depositors money and rightly so. I’m not accusing, just using an example of what an automated system is designed to protect against.

This going nowhere and is irrelevant to the discussion at hand. I can’t see the point of your falsehoods and innuendo. It makes any reasonable person suspect your motive for participating in this thread. You create a profile just to complain. I encourage you stick around for the next 20 years and help thousands of fellow community members and share useful information, not FUD.

Missing a payment isn’t the sole reason for holding a payment. I’ll list a few for your convenience.


  • New account
  • Larger than usual payment
  • Too frequent payments in last few weeks
  • Account near credit limit
  • New bank account used for transfer
  • Transaction patterns fit suspicious activities
  • Missed payment
  • Late payment
  • Card over credit limit
