if Chase bank is still open, the transfer is almost instant.

good luck!

Here's how I did it (before going outside of LBC)

- Find vendor on localbitcoins.com and make an order (I always use the same person, who has the option for over counter payment directly into a bank account. Even face to face vendors will usually let you transfer into bank account, just be polite and ask)
- Once they receive your order they will send you confirmation of sorts, which lets you know that the money is being held in Escrow and they are awaiting your deposit
- Go to bank, deposit the money, receive your coins

My bitcoin pathway to SR is; localbitcoins.com > blockchain wallet > bitcoinfog (if I feel some heat or can be bothered waiting) > SR wallet

Pretty simple
