Your team can establish a deposit schedule that works best for you (daily, weekly, monthly, end of campaign, etc.) or you can trigger a withdrawal at any time. The funds typically take 1-2 business days to appear in your Stripe account and then an additional 1-2 business days once the withdrawal is scheduled.
