Keep your investments running smoothly and secure your returns with a linked bank account.
🚀 What’s the Deal?
Before you can invest in any property on addy, you’ll need to connect your bank account to your addy profile. This isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s essential for a few key reasons.
💸 Why You Need It
-
Withdrawals: If you decide to request a withdrawal, the funds will be sent directly to your linked bank account. It’s fast, secure, and easy. Plus, some withdrawals may even be processed automatically based on your preferences or settings.
-
Dividends: When dividends are distributed from your property investments, we need to know where to send them. Your connected bank account makes this possible, ensuring you get your share right into your hands (or at least, your bank).
-
Secure Transfers: By connecting your account, you’re adding an extra layer of security and making sure funds can only move between your addy account and your verified bank.
🛠️ How It Works
-
Link your bank account: You’ll be guided through a secure process to connect your bank via our trusted partner.
-
Verify your account: There might be a small test deposit to confirm it’s really you.
-
Invest with confidence: Once linked, you’re ready to invest and receive returns without worrying about where your money will go.
