How to Fund Your Card
|

Slight changes have been made to how your wallet and cards work. Now that we’ve introduced third-party Exempt Market Dealers on the platform, members can fund their cards directly within the investment flow in the dealer’s zone. To add funds for an investment, simply open the app, choose a third-party party exempt market dealer, choose the property you’re interested in, click Invest, and follow the steps. One of the steps will prompt you to add funds to your card—once complete, your balance will update automatically and you can finish your investment. This update streamlines the process so everything happens smoothly within the investment experience.
As always, if you have any questions about a specific investment, please reach out directly to the third-party Exempt Market Dealer to speak with a Dealing Representative.
