How to Fund Your Trading Account
Transfer Accounts (ACATS)
Transfer your IRA or individual account in just four steps via ACATS. We don’t charge incoming transfer fees. But if your other broker does, we’ll reimburse you up to $75 back when you move accounts from another firm (limitations may apply see FAQs below).
- Enter your account info: Open a tastytrade account, then link your account from another broker.
- Choose full or partial transfer: Transfer all your assets in full, or choose what you want to transfer.
- Authorize the transfer: Upload a statement of an account you are transferring and sign the authorization form.
- We deposit your assets: We'll process the transfer. ACATS transfer will take 7-10 business days.
We don’t charge an incoming ACATS fee, but the transferring firm may charge an outgoing ACATS fee.
For each minimum transfer of $2,000, we will reimburse the transfer fees from your other broker, up to $75. To get reimbursed, please contact our support team at support@tastytrade.com. You will receive reimbursement in your account within 2 weeks from the request.
This is common. Dividend or interest payments may occur in your other brokerage account after the transfer was completed. If you requested a full transfer, any remaining cash balance from the other brokerage account will be transferred over automatically in scheduled residual sweeps.
Typically, ACATS transfers take 7-10 business days.

Wire Transfers
You can add funds by wire. Most transfers sent from U.S. banks will be deposited in your account the next business day. Contact your bank or broker to start a wire transfer with this info:
We don’t charge an incoming fee for wire transfers.
Wires typically post to your account the next trading day after initiating the wire from your bank. Wires from foreign sources can take 3-5 business days to post in your account after initiating the wire from your bank.
tastytrade only accepts deposits in USD. tastytrade does not provide any currency conversion services, and funds cannot come from a third party. For international clients who are wiring funds, please see our Help Center article.
There should be a section that allows you to provide additional information to the recipient of the wire. You should be able to successfully transmit your wire if you provide your tastytrade account number in this field.
