6. You must check the box to associate this bank account with the correct investing Account. Do not skip this step!!!!! If you link your bank account manually, fill out all of the required fields and hit "Add New Bank Account"
Field definitions:
BANK ACCOUNT NICKNAME: This field isn’t anything related to your bank. Just a friendly name to help you distinguish between accounts.
ROUTING NUMBER: This is your bank's routing number. This can usually be found on your bank's website.
ACCOUNT NUMBER: The specific account where you want the funds to be distributed.
ACCOUNT TYPE: This tells the system if the account is a checking or savings.
Link this bank account to...
In this section, you can select which investment accounts to link to your bank account.
Distribution payments made to your selected investment accounts will then be sent to this bank account.
NOTE: if you do not see the "Link this bank account to..." field, as shown in the example above, it is likely because you are not the primary account holder on this investor portal account and, therefore, have limited editing permissions.
This behavior is by design, as oftentimes, primary account holders will invite their spouses, business partners, CPAs, and other authorized users (which have limited editing permissions) to their investor portal account.
If you believe that you should be the primary account holder on your investor portal account, don't hesitate to get in touch with the investment group for the given portal.
