The Securities and Exchange Commission has specific rules concerning how long it takes for the sale of stock to become official and the funds made available. The current rules call for a three-day settlement, which means it will take at least three days from the time you sell stock until the money is available.
Why do stocks have a settlement date?
The settlement date is the date on which a trade is final, when the buyer pays the seller and the seller delivers cleared assets to the buyer. The settlement arose to deal with the complex process of clearing a transaction but has since been reduced to as little as two business days (T+2) through the use of technology.
Do I own the stock on the trade date or settlement date?
When you initiate the purchase of securities (the trade date), you have a legal obligation to pay for them. On the other side of the deal, also as of trade date, the seller has a legal obligation to provide the securities that you purchased. But you don’t legally own the securities you’ve bought until settlement date.
