Coinbase aims to make funds available as soon as payments clear, but the timing varies based on location and payment method. You can check the delivery time of your orders on your history page.
US Customers
Purchases made using a debit card or the USD balance are instant.
Bank purchases use the ACH transfer system, which typically takes 3-5 business days to complete (timing is displayed prior to confirming your order and in the confirmation email).
When you initiate the transfer, funds are immediately debited from your bank account, but they won't be transferred to your balance until the payment has moved between the banks and cleared in our bank account.
UK and European Customers
Since your local currency is stored in your Coinbase cash balance, all standard purchases, as well as those made with a debit card, occur instantly.
Deposits to EUR balances using SEPA transfers can take up to 2-3 business days to complete.
Deposits to GBP balances using GBP bank transfers (Faster Payments) normally complete within 1 business day.

Deposits to your CAD balance using Interac transfers usually take up to 5 minutes to complete (longer if the network is busy)
