Electronic Funds Transfer (ACH) is available to all Firstrade accounts and the linked bank account must be via a U.S. bank. You may not link third-party bank accounts, such as a business account (even if your name is on the account). Not available for Simple IRA, SEP IRA, ESA Accounts, or Investment Club accounts. Linking a Joint bank account to an Individual Firstrade account will require verification of all account holders to proceed.
