BANK TRANSFERS (ACH)³
Bank Transfers (ACH) are only available to customers in the United States. The funds are made available in your account for trading at our discretion. After four to five business days, the funds are available for withdrawal as this is the amount of time ACH transfers take to settle. Note: a business day does not include weekends or US federal holidays.Gemini submits deposit requests at 5pm ET Monday - Friday. Any deposit made before 5pm ET will be submitted to your bank that same business day. Any deposit made after 5pm ET will be submitted to your bank at 5pm the following business day.
SWIFT WIRE TRANSFERS³
Gemini can receive SWIFT wire transfers from banks located anywhere within our areas of availability. SWIFT wire transfers settle as soon as they have been received in our bank account. As a result, these funds are available for trading and withdrawal immediately once they have been credited to your account.
USD Funds sent by domestic wire transfer before 3pm ET will typically be available in your account the same day or the next business day (this may vary based on the internal processes of your bank). While there may be a fee charged by your bank to send a wire, we do not charge any wire fees on our side. For wire withdrawals, a $25 fee is applied.
Note; SWIFT deposits and withdrawals are temporarily not supported by Gemini's banking partners for AUD. Gemini can accept deposits of AUD via BECS/NPP transfers.
Note; Gemini recently updated our AUD deposit and withdrawal process and no longer supports SWIFT transfers for AUD. Since we only collect SWIFT information when AUD payment methods are added — but BSB details are required to process BECS or NPP withdrawals — withdrawal attempts will fail. If you're trying to withdraw AUD, please contact our customer support team so we can help process the withdrawal manually on your behalf. This is a temporary measure while we work on a long-term solution.
Note; SWIFT deposits are temporarily not supported by Gemini's banking partners for EUR. Gemini can accept deposits of EUR via SEPA/Target2 transfer.
FAST TRANSFERS (SGD)
Gemini works with DBS Bank to facilitate SGD transfers via FAST. For more information on depositing via FAST, click here.
