You can fund your Gemini account with either fiat or cryptocurrency. Please pick your funding source from the list below for more information.
Fiat currency
You must first link your bank account before you can deposit money in fiat currency. You can add your bank account by going to the Funding Sources page and then clicking on Get Started under Automatically link bank.
If you are unable to link your bank account through Plaid or prefer not to use your online banking credentials to register your bank account, please exit the screen and navigate to Manually link bank, where you will enter your wire information. After you’ve entered your bank account information, you can complete the bank verification process by making a successful wire deposit into your account.
Funds transferred by wire transfer before 3:00pm ET are usually available in your account the same day or the next working day (though this may vary based on the internal processes of your bank). Bank Transfer (ACH) deposits are immediately available for trading and fully cleared into your Gemini account, making them available for withdrawal within 4-5 working days.
Cryptocurrency Funding
Customers who want to deposit supported cryptocurrency must need to know the instructions with their external wallet or the service provider that maintains their cryptocurrency to initiate a drawdown to their unique Gemini deposit address.
What Is the Process for Changing My Default Currency?
You can choose between USD, AUD, CAD, GBP, EUR, HKD, and SGD as your default currency. To change your default currency, click the USD icon in the top navigation bar, then select another currency from the drop-down menu. On the Funding Sources Page, you can also change your default currency by hovering over “Currency Options” under “Default Currency,” then clicking “Change Default Currency” and selecting another currency from the drop-down menu.
You can change your default currency in the Gemini App by going to the account tab and then tapping on the currency under “Default Currency.”
