An ACH transfer may be completed on the StartEngine website. In order to complete a wire, you need to bring the given wire instructions to your bank.

It all depends on when the company chooses to withdraw funds.<\/li><li>The name that will appear on your billing statement will read &#8220;STE*&#8221; followed by the first 15 characters of the Company&#8217;s name, for example: &#8220;STE*COMPANYNAMEINC&#8221;<\/li><li>There are no additional transaction fees on investments. The amount that you invest will be the amount that appears on your credit or debit card.<\/li><li>You have up until 48 hours prior to a company\u2019s disbursement of funds to cancel your investment. The company will notify you of that disbursement (or of the close of its campaign) beforehand, and you have 48 hours from the time of that notification to cancel your investment. Once funds have been withdrawn and your card has been charged, you cannot cancel your investment.<\/li><li>You can invest up to $10,000 per investment on a credit card. If you would like to invest more than $10,000 in one transaction, select \u201cACH Transfer\u201d or \u201cWire Transfer\u201d as your payment method.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-b6fdacf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b6fdacf\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-5c32c27\" data-id=\"5c32c27\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2075cb9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2075cb9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">I submitted an investment, but how come no funds have been taken from my account?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7d2f97 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c7d2f97\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you have submitted an investment and funds have not yet been pulled from your account, there are a couple reasons that this might be the case:<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li>The company has exceeded their maximum funding goal and is oversubscribed.
