Enter Wire Deposit

Instructions

A wire deposit notification does not actually move funds; you must make arrangements with your bank or broker to make the deposit. Deposits that directly move money into your account are only available if you are enrolled in the Secure Login System.

The steps below describe how to enter a wire deposit notification. ACH and Canadian EFT deposits are different and require a few extra steps. Click here for detailed instructions on connecting your bank via ACH.

  1. Click Transfer & Pay Transfer > Transfer Funds

    • Alternatively, click Menu in the top left corner > Transfer & Pay > Transfer Funds

  2. If you are managing multiple accounts, use the Account Selector’s search function to choose the account you want, then click Continue.
