# Will the balance automatically transfer back to my account after an ACH payment is canceled?
No, the balance will not automatically transfer back to your business entity's bank account. You must manually initiate the transfer in Charted by navigating to Balance Transfers > Release Transfers > New Transfer, selecting the Business Entity and Funding Source, and withdrawing the full balance. Click **Create Transfer** and **Confirm** to initiate the transfer.
You'll then need to release the transfer. Navigate to Balance Transfers > Release Transfers to see all pending balance transfers. Click on the transfers you'd like to release and **Release Selected** to finalize the transfer.
Once you initiate a balance transfer, the funds will be returned to your bank in 2 business days (provided the balance transfer is initiated before 4pm ET). You can view all pending transfers by going to Balance Transfers > Transfer History.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.charted.com/ap-automation/charted-faqs/payment-automation/ach-troubleshooting-and-reversals/will-the-balance-automatically-transfer-back-to-my-account-after-an-ach-payment-is-canceled.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
