Questions & Answers about La transferencia llega mañana por la mañana.

Why is the word mañana used twice here?
The word mañana has two different meanings depending on the context. As a time word, it means "tomorrow". As a feminine noun (la mañana), it means "the morning". So, mañana por la mañana translates directly to "tomorrow in the morning" or "tomorrow morning".
Could I say mañana de la mañana instead of mañana por la mañana?
No, you must use por here. You use por la mañana to talk about a general time of day (in the morning). You only use de la mañana when you are attaching the morning to a specific time on the clock, like a las nueve de la mañana (at nine in the morning).
Why does this sentence use the present tense llega instead of the future tense llegará?
Just like in English, Spanish often uses the present tense to talk about future events that are scheduled, planned, or very certain to happen. Saying llega mañana (arrives tomorrow) feels natural and immediate for a bank transfer, though using the future tense llegará (will arrive) would also be completely correct.
