- A wire from an individual account may be deposited to a joint account if that person is one of the account holders.
Electronic Transfer (ACH)
ACH electronic transfers are a convenient way to fund your SogoTrade account. To proceed, you will need to complete the following:
- Link a new bank account on the Link Bank Account page. You will be prompted to enter the bank account number and bank routing number. Only one bank account may be linked to your SogoTrade account at any one time.
- Verify the bank account:
A newly linked bank account needs need to be verified before transfers can be initiated. As part of the verification process, SogoTrade will make two micro-deposits which will post to your bank account the day after your account is
linked. Find the amount of each deposit from your bank’s online statement. Go to the Bank Account page, click the "Verify" link located under the account. Enter the amounts of the two micro-deposits made to your account in any order and submit.
Once the micro-deposits are verified, the account linkage will be complete and funds can be transferred electronically online.
