Same-day trades possible
With electronic bank transfers, you control which day your money is invested or assets are sold. Submit your request before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m., Eastern time) and you'll get that day's closing price.
Put your investments on autopilot
If you invest on a regular basis, you can use electronic bank transfers to move money automatically from your bank account to your Vanguard account. Select a schedule that’s convenient for you—weekly, every other week, monthly, or twice each month. By investing a fixed dollar amount on a regular basis, you put dollar-cost averaging to work for you. You can also use electronic bank transfers to regularly move money from a Vanguard account to your bank account. Your assets are sent between Vanguard and your bank using the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network. This is not a wire.Set up automatic investing »
