How do I connect my bank account to Altruist?
You can link your bank accounts to your Altruist account for transfers via the mobile app.
From Settings
- Select “Settings” at the top right of your home screen in the Altruist app.
- Navigate to “Banks” > “Accounts” to choose your checking account. (While you can connect a savings account, typically a checking account is best.)
- When you have at least one Altruist account open and at least one bank account connected, they are ready to transfer funds!
From Transfers
- Select the “Transfers” tab in the bottom navigation menu.
- Select “Deposit” or “Withdraw” option and Altruist brokerage account.
- Select an existing connected bank account or add a new one to transfer funds.
Please note regarding Chase accounts: When connecting your bank account via Plaid, Chase will display a "Virtual Account Number" in place of your regular bank account number. This is designed to protect you from potential fraud.
