How can I fund my Ellevest Investment accounts?

You can fund your Ellevest Digital, Premium or membership accounts a few different ways:

Link a bank account

This is the quickest way to fund your Ellevest account, as it enables you to transfer funds from your bank account to your Ellevest account. Once you’ve linked a bank account, you can transfer funds either by a one-time deposit or through recurring auto-deposits.

To initiate a one-time deposit, click on "Move Money" from the top of your dashboard and a dropdown menu will appear; select “One-time transfer” to set up your transfer.

To set up auto-deposits, head to your dashboard and click on "Move Money" followed by "Recurring transfer" to schedule your recurring auto-deposits on a twice-a-month, monthly, or quarterly basis.

Transfer an IRA

If you have a traditional, Roth, or SEP IRA account outside of Ellevest, you can move it over. You can open a retirement account or transfer an IRA with Ellevest at the Plus or Executive membership levels. (For Digital/Premium clients, you'll first need to add a Retirement goal to your account).

Next, click on the “Move Money” button at the top of your dashboard, and select “Transfer external account” from the dropdown menu to start the IRA transfer process.

Roll over a 401(k) or 403(b)

If you have an old 401(k) or 403(b) from a previous employer, you can roll it over to an Ellevest IRA. You can rollover a 401(k) or 403(b) at the Plus or Executive membership levels only. Click on the “Move Money” button at the top of your dashboard, and select “Transfer external account” from the dropdown menu to start the rollover process. You can read about the rollover process in more detail here.

Transfer a taxable investment account

If you have an investment account outside of Ellevest, you can move it over. Click on Move Money at the top of the page, and then select "Transfer external account" to start the transfer process. Note that the transfer could incur capital gains for you — so we recommend that you check with a tax professional if you have questions on what the tax implications might be.
