Speed

You can choose the speed you receive funds through deposits and denomination-to-denomination transfers from within your Stake account. Below you will find settlement timeframes for each speed:

Regular: Funds are credited to your Wall St account T+1 after Stake receives confirmation of an initiated funding/transfer.
Instant: Funds are instantly credited (as buying power) to your Wall St account after Stake receives confirmation of an initiated funding/transfer. Please note there is a 0.5% surcharge for this method.
