[Taiwan] How long is the transfer to bank account process?
After your buyer collects the item at 7-ELEVEN, you'll receive a notification that the payment is being processed. The transaction will be reflected in your Pending Balance. After 7-11 transfers the money into your Balance, you can proceed to transfer to your preferred bank account. (Do note that your email address and mobile number have to be verified before you're able to transfer the balance to bank account.)
Pending Balance means: the money is still in 7-ELEVEN's bank account. After your buyer picks up the parcel, you will need to wait 5-8 working days (National Holidays may result in a delay) for 7-ELEVEN to transfer the money to Carousell's bank account.
Only when you see the funds in your Balance, you can proceed to transfer to bank account and it will take 4 working days (excluding weekends and National Holidays) to receive the money.
Note: If you don't see 'Pending Balance', please update your Carousell app to the latest version.
You can tap on "Balance" and "Manage" on the top right to add your bank details.
