How to Push from Fidelity

Processing: 1-3 business days

  1. Log in to your brokerage account (Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, E*TRADE)
  2. Navigate to "Transfer" or "Move Money"
  3. Select "Transfer to bank" or "Withdraw to linked bank"
  4. Enter the amount that meets the bonus requirement
  5. Choose your destination bank account (must be linked first)
  6. Confirm the transfer — it will go out as an ACH push

Tips

  • Brokerage pushes are the most reliable DD trigger across banks
  • Link your destination bank account in advance to avoid delays
  • Fidelity and Schwab are the most widely confirmed sources

Watch Out

  • Make sure you have sufficient settled cash (not margin) to transfer
