Can I use Zelle® to fund the new account?
No, Zelle® cannot be used to fund your new account. You must link an external bank account during the application to initiate an ACH transfer.
Can I use a check or cash to fund my new account?
No, checks or cash cannot be used for the initial funding deposit. To proceed with your application, you must link an external bank account and initiate an ACH transfer during the application process.
Can I use someone else’s bank account to fund my application?
No, the external account used for funding must be in your name or a joint account where you are listed as an account holder.
What if I don’t have an external bank account to link for the funding deposit?
Linking an external account in your name is required to fund a new account. If you do not have an eligible external account, you will not be able to proceed with the application at this time.
How do I link my external bank account?
During the application process, you’ll be prompted to securely connect your external bank account using our verification system. This allows us to initiate the funding deposit via ACH transfer.
Can I fund the account after it’s opened?
No, the initial deposit must be completed during the application process. Your account cannot be opened without successfully funding it at that time.
