Form CRS is a customer relationship summary document that the SEC requires broker-dealers and investment advisers, like us, to disclose to retail investors, like you, to enhance your investor protection.

In it you’ll find concise, relevant information regarding our fees, conflicts, and services provided.

There are 4 ways to fund your account. You can transfer from a bank (ACH), request a wire transfer, transfer from another broker or send us a check.
ACH Transfer
You can link your bank account to your brokerage account for transfers. This is a good way to move funds in and out of your Ally Invest Securities account both initially and long term. Transfers from an Ally Bank account are usually available immediately for trading.
When initially funding your account from a different bank or financial institution, transfers may not be the fastest method due to the time it takes to process your application and the 3-business-day clearing period on transfers.
Once your account is open, log in to select Transfers and then Linked Bank Accounts to get started.
Wire Transfer
This is the fastest way to fund your account and begin trading. Once the funds have been deposited into your brokerage account, you can place your first trade. Depending on how quickly your bank initiates the wire, this method can take a few hours to one business day. Keep in mind, we don't accept third party wires.
