Enter Wire Deposit
Instructions
A wire deposit notification does not actually move funds; you must make arrangements with your bank or broker to deposit the funds. Deposits that 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.
