# Bank Payouts
Harness uses Stripe as it's payment processors. Stripe has its own policies regarding how often they pay out, how long it takes to process funds, etc. Here's a short breakdown of how Stripe handles your funds and how long it will take to reach your bank account:
**Stripe Donations**
Stripe will automatically transfer your funds from your Stripe account to your bank account based on the settings in your [transfer schedule](https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/payouts). Transfers will automatically be completed every **2 business days**. However, your first transfer may take a little longer, around **7 days**. In most other countries, transfers are set to be completed every **7 business days**.
You can access a summary of [past and upcoming payouts](https://dashboard.stripe.com/balance/overview), along with estimated dates of when they will reflect in your bank account (see image below).
