I was wondering if you can speed up the Echeck process by transfering money into my account and making the money available faster...or is it the print/mail process that takes SOOOO long?

Hi sadhu,
An eCheck is an electronic transfer of funds from your bank account to another customer's PayPal account. The process is similar to that of writing a check, but you send it electronically.
If you are interested in sending money more quickly, we would recommend adding a back up funding source such as a credit or debit card to allow you to complete an instant transfer from your bank. With an instant transfer, the recipient would receive the funds right away, instead of having to wait the 3-5 business days. With this option, you wouldn't be required to add funds to your balance either, which makes it a much faster process.
Hopefully you found this information helpful!
