Did You Know You Can Invest in an IRA Immediately Online?
You can make your 2014 IRA contribution immediately online by linking your bank account. Once you have a check or your bank account information at hand, access your account online and follow these steps:
- Go to Your Portfolio.
- Click Edit Your Profile.
- Click Set Up next to "Bank Information (for online investing)."
- Complete the two-step process.
Once you’ve submitted your information, you can purchase shares immediately using your linked account(s). Note, however, that some accounts, including most employer-sponsored retirement plans, are not eligible for online purchases.
In addition to making immediate IRA contributions, when you link your American Funds account(s) to your bank account you can also:
- buy more shares at any time (up to $100,000 per day)
- sell shares without delay (up to a value of $125,000 per day)
- set up an automatic purchase or withdrawal plan
Link your bank account today and complete your transactions online quickly, easily and securely.
