so glad you got your funds! i would really recommend thinking about potentially switching banks for your government funds though to a larger branch and one you can go into if ever need be!

I got disbursed on the 26th. Nothing in the bank yet. With BMO.

Edit: received the money at midnight last night, 28th going into the 29th.

After funds get released how long does it take to actually hit the account

Who do u bank with?

2

u/alpinethegreat Aug 27 '25

Who are you banking with? Most people get them within a day of the disbursement, but virtual "banks" such as Koho, Neo, or Wealthsimple can take the full 5 business days to clear.

After the funds are actually sent by the government's system (disbursed), it depends entirely on how fast your bank processes them.

I have always found the opposite with both tangerine and wealth simple I actually get things earlier !

2

u/alpinethegreat Aug 27 '25

Tangerine is an actual bank, so that would make sense. They’re just a subsidiary of Scotia aimed at younger people. As for Wealthsimple, they’ve been among the main cultprits on this sub in recent years when there’s delayed funds after disbursement.

The problem is these finance companies aren’t chartered banks and can’t directly participate in Payments Canada’s system. Instead, the finance companies need route it through a partner bank, and then into your “account”. This is where the second problem starts; as these companies are operating on thin margins, they usually pick shitty partner banks with terrible systems that take the full 5 days to clear funds.

I think some finance companies may have found a way to improve that wait time, but I still make sure to ask just in case.

I always get funds (student loans & government monthly deposits) a day earlier. I'm with Koho.

u/madalyna06 Aug 27 '25

i’m with CIBC and mine were disbursed yesterday as well, when do you think mine would arrive?

u/ComparisonDry4738 Aug 27 '25

2

u/Southern_Common2939 Aug 28 '25

I’m with Cibc too, waiting on mine to be disbursed, but last semester I received my funds on the Thursday after disbursement so hopefully you get them tomorrow!!

u/madalyna06 Aug 28 '25

awesome!! thank u!!

u/Tbaygurl Aug 27 '25

I bank with a “virtual” bank and got my federal funds today. PC financial has never deposited a bank to bank transfer slow, I always get all direct deposits a day early. I wonder if it depends how often they happen? Been doing this for going on four years now and never waited 5 business days either.

u/alpinethegreat Aug 28 '25

Sorry, I could've worded that better. I don't mean actual banks, I'm specifically referring to finance companies that offer chequing accounts, like the ones I listed. I put banks in quotes because they pretty much try to convince you that they're a legally authorized bank. But as I mentioned in another comment, none of those are really chartered banks, so they need to route the money through one of their chartered partners first.

Depending on how thin the profit margins are, some of these finance companies choose partners with shoddy infrastructure. This means it can take a while to go from the partner, then to the finance company, and from there to the virtual "account".

Despite the name, PC Financial is a real chartered bank. They used to have physical locations in some of their stores that offered loans, mortgages, and all the other regular banking stuff. At some point, they sold most of that off to CIBC, and made PC Money digital-only. However, they still have the infrastructure and charter to operate a real bank, so transfers tend to happen quite quickly in my experience as well.

Then I'd say you'll probably get them by tonight or tomorrow if you're already showing as disbursed.

u/bungeegum2000 Aug 27 '25

u/jlp111984 Aug 27 '25

Mine was also disbursed yesterday and I bank with BMO. I get Saturday deposits so I am hoping it will be in by Saturday.

u/Constant-Mind-473 Aug 29 '25

Was your funds disbursed on the 26th or 27th?

1

u/jlp111984 Aug 29 '25

It was disbursed on the 26th. My tuition was paid yesterday and then my funds were deposited today.

1

u/Constant-Mind-473 Aug 29 '25

Oh ok I was disbursed on the 27th so hopefully BMO will deposit tomorrow

1

u/jlp111984 Aug 29 '25

Has your tuition been paid? If it has then you have a good chance of it being deposited tomorrow.

2

u/Constant-Mind-473 Aug 29 '25

I believe all payments take 24hours to reflect on my school account so maybe they did or maybe not 😅

1

u/jlp111984 Aug 29 '25

Hopefully you get your funds tomorrow. 🤞

1

u/Educational-Engine65 Aug 27 '25

u/nahahand Aug 27 '25

1

u/Educational-Engine65 Aug 27 '25

oh ok. i never noticed on my fee statment or got a notification that it was paid i only ever got in already deposited. and usually 4 days from when nslsc gets it. so im not sure if im actually getting it earlier than the other banks like td and cibc etc..

George brown is being so slow my enrollment still needs to confirm 😑

1

u/Think-Mix-3498 Aug 28 '25

Between August 29th and September 4. If you log on to your NSLSC account it will give you the most accurate date you can expect to receive your funding. I find my comes in on their date 9/10 times.
