This article contains the following sections:

From an external U.S. account

1 to 3 business days. No transaction fee.

Using your login credentials:

1. Navigate to the Accounts Tab. Click Add Money, then click From external account.

2. Type the bank you would like to add funds from in the search bar or select from the tiles. Click on the bank name when it appears.

3. Enter your login details for the bank account you would like to connect Relay to, then click Next in the bottom right-hand corner. You may be asked security questions to verify your identity.* 

*If you are not taken to a login page, please see Micro deposits below for an alternative method to adding funds on Relay.

4. Follow the instructions to deposit funds from your external bank account into your Relay account. 

For example, if you would like to connect to your Chase bank account, you would select Chase in the search bar, then enter your login details for Chase. This will connect your Chase account to Relay to easily add funds while staying on the Relay platform.

Adding funds with connected accounts:

Once accounts are connected they will be listed above the search bar on the Add funds from another bank account page for easy transfers. You can reach this page by selecting Accounts > Add funds > From external account. Accounts connected through login credentials will show the external account balance. Accounts connected with micro-deposits will not. 

If you would like to add funds from a connected external account, select the account you would like to add funds from, as shown above. Then choose the amount and the Relay account you would like to deposit to. 

Adding funds by international wire (non-U.S. external accounts)

If you are adding funds from a foreign or non-U.S. bank account, you will have to wire transfer funds from the bank you will be sending money from. The sending bank will exchange the currency into USD, if necessary.
