How do I fund my account via check or wire?

If this is the case, there are other ways to fund your Public account.

Updated over a week ago

We have multiple funding options available at Public. The quickest way is to link your bank account directly so you can deposit and withdraw.

If you are looking for alternative methods to link your bank there are other ways to fund your Public account. Sending a wire or a check can be a helpful alternative when you are unable to link your bank account or if you would like to make a large transfer that exceeds your daily deposit limit.

You can wire directly to your Brokerage or High Yield Cash Account. Please ensure you include the correct account number for the account you would like to wire to. Wires can only be sent to one account, so please only include one account number.

We are typically unable to accept wire transfers from business or trust bank accounts without additional verification. Please reach out to our Member Support team for more information.

Wire Instructions:

  1. Reach out to your bank to initiate a wire from your bank account.

  2. Provide the following wire information included below. Please note this is for our Clearing Firm, Apex Clearing.

  3. Be sure to include your full name and account number in the for further credit section, as this helps ensure it is applied to your account right away.
