It depends, if there are title problems that need to be fixed that could delay payment. Some banks, mainly out side of Louisiana, don't know what to do with a draft.

When I took my draft lease bonus to my bank, they told me it would take about 15 days. It actually took about 15 business days to clear....

It should take about 3 weeks. Check with the main branch of your bank because they have a tendency to sit on them. My land man was actually quite helpful with most of my questions concerning the process.
