Safeguard Securities offers several secure methods to fund your brokerage account. All deposits are processed through encrypted channels and credited to your account as quickly as possible.
Wire Transfer: Domestic wire transfers are the fastest funding method, with funds typically credited to your account on the same business day. International wires are processed within 1–2 business days. Wire instructions are available in your client portal under Funding > Wire Transfer.
ACH Transfer: Link your U.S. bank account for ACH deposits. Initial transfers settle in 3–5 business days; subsequent transfers from verified accounts settle in 1–3 business days. There are no fees for ACH deposits.
Third-Party Payment Processors: Select approved payment processors are available for additional convenience. Availability and processing times vary by provider.
Daily and monthly deposit limits vary by account type and verification level. Standard verified accounts can deposit up to $50,000 per day via ACH and unlimited amounts via wire transfer. For higher ACH limits, contact your account representative.
All deposits are tracked in real time through your client portal under Funding > Transaction History. You will receive email and in-app notifications when your deposit is received and when funds are available for trading.
