Doing a trade on LBC. How long does a bank transfer take to show up?

[Decoded]

Hey guys, I'm in the middle of a 1.5 BTC trade on Localbitcoins. We are waiting for the seller to confirm the Bitcoin arriving in their account. How long does this usually take? It's between two different banks.

Since it's currently a Saturday, would it be fair to say that it would only process the transfer sometime in the afternoon on Monday?

The transfer from bank accounts usually takes anywhere between 3-5 days, I believe that those are business days so weekends or holidays are excluded.

If the banks between 2 parties are from the same banking group the transfer can be instant. I've moved money instantly several times in UK via different banks.

Depends if you and seller are from the same country, same bank... But I'd say you must wait at least 3 days starting from monday (tomorrow)

Inter-bank transfer may take upto 5 working days and till today its week-end and bank usually remain closed. You may have to wait for next 2-3 more days from tomorrow.
