The Burning Question: How Long Does it Take for My Money to Get to Walmart, Already?
Let's face it, folks, in this day and age, patience is a virtue rarely exercised. We want our pizza delivered in 30 minutes or less, our Amazon packages practically teleporting to our doorstep, and our Walmart2Walmart money transfers happening faster than a squirrel can snatch a peanut butter sandwich (no squirrels were harmed in the writing of this post).
So, the big question is, how long does it actually take for your money to get from one Walmart to another? Buckle up, because the answer is... it depends.
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.![]()
Hold on, don't click away yet! I know, "it depends" is the most frustrating answer in the history of ever, but hear me out. Here's the breakdown:
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.![]()
- If your recipient is at the same Walmart you sent the money from: They can practically do a victory dance because the funds are available for pickup in minutes. That's faster than you can say "Walmart yodeling champion" (yes, that's a real thing, look it up).
- If your recipient is at a different Walmart: They might need to grab a coffee (or a giant pickle, because, well, it's Walmart) while they wait. The transfer typically takes just a few minutes to be available at any of the over 4,500 Walmart locations in the US and Puerto Rico, and over 2,500 Bodega Aurrera and Walmart locations in Mexico.
So, while it's not instantaneous (sorry, gotta manage expectations here), it's still pretty darn fast.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.![]()
Bonus Tip: Want to skip the line altogether? Use the Walmart2Walmart app or Ria's website to initiate the transfer from the comfort of your couch (or, you know, the throne room, we don't judge).
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.![]()
In conclusion, your Walmart2Walmart transfer won't take longer than it takes to sing the "Walmart yodeling champion" song on repeat (which, admittedly, isn't very long). So, relax, breathe, and maybe do a little happy dance of your own - your money is on its way!
