Make a Bank Deposit

  1. 1

    Open the app and tap Deposit

    Select bank transfer and choose your rail — SEPA, ACH, or Wire.

  2. 2

    Copy the bank details

    Peanut will display the account details and a unique reference number. Copy both carefully.

  3. 3

    Open your banking app

    Create a new transfer using the bank details from the previous step. Enter the Peanut account as the recipient.

  4. 4

    Include the reference number

    This is how Peanut matches the transfer to your account. Without it, your deposit will be delayed. Copy and paste it exactly — do not type it manually.

  5. 5

    Send the transfer

    Double-check that the name on your bank account matches your Peanut account name. Send the transfer.

  6. 6

    Wait for processing

    SEPA: usually under 20 minutes. ACH: 1-3 business days. Wire: 1-5 business days. Your balance updates automatically.

Important

The reference number is critical. Missing or incorrect references are the most common cause of delayed deposits. Always copy and paste it from the app.

Info

The name on your bank account must match the name on your Peanut account. Transfers from joint accounts or business accounts with a different name may be delayed or returned.

Tips by Rail

SEPA: Send in EUR only. If your bank supports SEPA Instant, your deposit will arrive even faster — SEPA Instant works 24/7, including weekends and holidays.

ACH: Initiate early in the day for faster processing. ACH does not process on weekends or US holidays. For faster funding, consider a crypto deposit instead.

Wire: Your bank may charge $25-$80+ for outgoing wires — Peanut charges nothing on its end. Choose "OUR" as the fee instruction if your bank offers it, to avoid intermediary deductions.
