Funding process & timeframes
Summary of deposit methods
You can fund your Stake account via:
- Direct bank transfer
- POLi
- Debit card/credit card/Google Pay/Apple Pay
The minimum funding amount is NZ$50. See our pricing PDF for more information.
Getting free stock
To claim a starter stock, simply make a first deposit of at least NZ$50 into your Stake account within 24 hours of opening it. You’ll then be able to claim a Nike, Dropbox or GoPro stock on us – yours will be selected at random. For the 24-hour deadline, what counts is the moment you place the transfer, not when the funds arrive.
You can learn more about this offer here. This reward is subject to Stake Wall St Rewards Terms and Conditions.
Things to note
Stake does not support third-party deposits. This is in accordance with our Terms & Conditions and Anti-Money Laundering obligations. Please ensure that the name on the remitting account precisely matches the name on your Stake account.
Stake does not support international wires, in-person branch transfers (i.e. Cash Deposits) or cheque payment methods. Stake doesn't support direct USD funding at this moment in time. All deposits to your Stake account must be initiated in the local currency of the region in which your designated account was set up.
