What is Express Funding?

of the transaction, you can use Express Funding. This feature allows you to buy stocks and ETFs at any time. Here's how it works:
Provide your bank information. The money needed to cover the cost of your order will be requested from your bank.
Create a buy order from the Real-time trade1 page, and enter the symbol and dollar amount for your order.
