How to deposit into Slay Markets via ACH bank transfer
ACH bank transfer is the most common Slay Markets deposit method for US-based clients, moving funds directly from your bank account. ACH deposits take 1 to 3 business days to clear and may be cancelable only before processing begins. To deposit into your Slay Markets account via ACH:
Log in to your Slay Markets Account Dashboard.
Select Transfer Funds from the left navigation menu.
Choose ACH / Bank Transfer and click Continue.
If you have not yet linked a bank account, click "Set up ACH automatically" to launch Plaid, or enter your routing and account number manually.
Enter the deposit amount and confirm.
Your ACH deposit will be submitted. Funds typically post within 1 to 3 business days.
If your bank was not instantly verified through Plaid when you linked it, your Slay Markets ACH deposit may be held for up to 3 business days from the deposit date before funds are available for trading. Instant Plaid verification reduces this hold. To link a bank account, see How to Link Your Bank Account.
ACH deposit cutoff: ACH deposits submitted before 2:00 PM ET are processed the same day and typically post overnight. Requests submitted after 2:00 PM ET are processed the next business day.
You can link a bank account yourself in Account Dashboard > Transfer Funds > ACH by clicking "Set up ACH automatically," which launches Plaid and takes up to 15 minutes on business days. No support ticket is required, and only one ACH bank account can be linked at a time.
