By Exponential Team
Published May 01, 2024
At Exponential, we believe in tearing down barriers to DeFi, making it as inclusive and accessible as possible. Today, we're excited to announce a leap forward in this mission: bank transfers are now available on Exponential, allowing you to fund your account directly through your bank account with zero fees.
Starting now, eligible users* in the US can use ACH or Wires to transfer funds directly to their Exponential Wallet through our partner Bridge. This converges the convenience of traditional banking with the innovative world of DeFi. Transfer USD and receive USDC on your Wallet with zero fees.
It's that simple. Now, DeFi investments are only a bank transfer away, making it even easier for you to earn high yields on your savings.
To celebrate the launch:
  • We will refund your wire fees** (up to $100) if you deposit in the next two weeks.
  • We’re also launching new high-yield investment opportunities:

How do bank transfers work?

It’s simple and straightforward.
  1. Head over to your Exponential Wallet, click on Deposit, and select “Bank transfer.”
  1. Select the bank transfer option: Wire or ACH
  1. After you click on either Wire or ACH, you will be shown our banking partner's details for you to use in your bank transfer instructions:
    1. Wires submitted before 5 PM ET arrive the same day; submissions after this time will be processed the next business day.
    2. ACH transfers typically arrive within 1-3 business days.
  1. Once your transaction has been successful, you will receive an email receipt and you will see your balance updated.
