Welcome to Slash! Here are the 7 things you should do to ensure you have the best possible experience using our product.
Step 1: fund your account
[Recommended] Funding your account with an incoming wire or ACH:
On the home page, click "Move Money" > "Add funds"
Click on "Wire / ACH"
If you manage multiple entities via your Slash dashboard, select the account you'd like to send money into
Copy the wire details shown into your external banking dashboard, and use their portal to send money to your Slash account:
Wires are fast and usually post within ~5 minutes of being sent
ACH transfers are slower and the speed depends on the bank you're using to originate the ACH payment
If you've never sent a wire transfer or ACH from your bank before, feel free to check out our guides to sending wire/ACH transfers from specific banks.
[2-3 business days] Funding your account by pulling funds from a connected bank account:
On the home page, click "Move Money" > "Add funds"
Click on "Connected bank account"
